Burano Island, colorfully painted fishermen's houses, Venetian Lagoon, Italy, Europe

Blue boats, canal, and houses painted blue, red, orange, yellow. Burano, known for knitted lacework, fishing, and colorfully painted houses, is a small archipelago of four islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy, Europe. Burano's traditional house colors are strictly regulated by government. The Romans may have been first to settle Burano. Romantic Venice (Venezia), "City of Canals," stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy, between the mouths of the Po (south) and Piave (north) Rivers. Venice and the Venetian Lagoon are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
