	The History of Burano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Burano is one of the greater centers of the lagoon of Venice, with its 7.000 inhabitants around, a flourishing activity of fishing, laces and tourism.
		Today Burano is a marvelous island, a heaven that enchants the tourists, not only for the historical themes, but even for its charm, for the unreal silence of its mornings, for the happy bawling and for the peculiar local dialect, that has the characteristic to lengthen, almost to double, the consonants.
		It is worth tasting, in one of the many restaurants of the island, the typical local dishes, all made with fish, among which the most appreciated for its originality is the "risotto" with "nero di seppia", or the "schie," shrimps of the lagoon that, together with "polenta", represents a unique specialty.

	Burano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although like Venice itself it could more correctly be called an archipelago of islands linked by bridges.
		It lies near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework.
		Burano is also known for its small, brightly-painted houses, popular with artists.

	Burano
		And, maybe, at least according to some scholars, the drawl still characterizing the sing-song dialect of Burano, is the last trace of thelanguage spoken by the ancient citizens of Altinum.Yet these peoples did not come to an entirely deserted and barren land.
		However secluded, distant and off-the-beaten-path as it may appear today, Burano has always been closely connected to Venice, whose glorious past it has shared in good and bad times - it was occupied by French troops and then by the Austrians, and contributed its own heroes to the ill-fated 1848 revolution led by Daniele Manin.
		The Burano houses have their distant origin in the ancient lagoon casoni, or fishing lodges, buildings made of reeds and mud with thatched roofs, generally with a square plan, and no more than two or three-storey high.

		Burano – a half hour from the crush of Venice - is a world apart.

	A Venetian Journal by Robert Eakin: Burano
		By the mid-17th century, Burano's lace was known worldwide, but foreign competition and the general decline of Venice brought the industry almost to extinction by 1800.
		Today, real Burano lace is a very time-consuming labor intensive art and thus quite expensive.
		Burano differs from the other islands in the lagoon in that there are no great palaces or churches, just a low skyline of small one- or two-story houses looking very much alike except for their colors.

		Burano looks pretty, brightly-painted houses, grounds for nice pictures on a bright day, and there's a lot of lace being sold, not all of which is actually made there.
		Burano was my favorite part of our trip to Venice.
		Each island has their own distinct flavour -- Torcello is almost abandoned, but so quaint and historical; Burano has the beautiful painted houses (a quick stop, then catch the next vaporetto is perfect), and we found Murano charming even with some of the "tacky" shops, which are everywhere in Venice anyway.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| Object of the week: Burano Horse
		Burano horses were a breed used by the Ancient Greeks and Etruscans in wartime to pull carts laden with battlefield and siege machinery.
		On Wednesday Brian Taylor's 5ft-high bronze sculpture Burano Horse will go on sale for £6,500 at an exhibition in London that will mark the foundation of the world's first permanent collection of art that can be appreciated by blind and visually impaired people.
		Taylor, a former art college lecturer who regularly exhibits at sculpture parks, has captured the raw muscular power of the Burano horse, with its head pressed into the neck, its mane arched and its tail raised to create a feeling of tension and momentum.

		On the way to Murano we took a water taxi arranged by our hotel, a vaporetto to Burano and then a vaporetto back from Burano to our hotel and I have to say the trip was longer than I expected.
		From Burano back to Venice might have taken closer to an hour because there were stops along the way.
		I didn't think it could be an hour between Burano and Torcello, maybe on the website I wasn't putting in the parameters correctly.
