色彩のブラーノ島、ヴェネツィア・イタリア。

 

The Colorful Island of Burano, Italy

 

by Kaushik

Burano is an island in the Northern Venetian Lagoon, just 40 minutes away from Venice by boat. Burano is an old fishing village, and the fishing traditions of Burano date back to Roman time. The island is famous for the art of lace making and its bright multicolored houses.Burano was founded by the Romans who fled the city of Altino during the Barbarian invasions, and named it after one of the gates of the former city. The first houses of Burano were build on palafittes, with walls made of woven canes and afterwards plastered with mud. Later these raw houses were replaced by houses made of bricks and the inhabitants began painting them with bright colors. The origin of the colors is unknown but the story goes that years ago, when the fishermen returned from the sea, they couldn’t recognize their homes through the fog, so they started painting them with different colors.

過去に撮影でかなりの回数訪れた、ヴェネツィア本島、リド島、ジュデッカ島、ヴェネチアングラスのムラーノ島、そしてこのBurano（ブラーノ）島は光景の宝庫なんだよなぁ！

本島からボートで40分位のラグーンの島、Burano（ブラーノ）は古い漁村でありレース作りの島だ。

漁師が海から帰ってきた時、霧の中で自分たちの家を見分けるために始まったカラフルな家のペイントが印象的だ。
