		Mazzorbo was founded by people from di Altino escaping from Attila and was previously named Majurbium (the "biggest city").
		Much evidence can be found of its days of splendour, when it was in competition with Torcello for its riches and the beauty of its houses.
		Nowadays it is considered the island of Burano's "residential area", to which it is connected by a bridge.

	Mazzorbo - Venice for Visitors
		The villas, gardens, and churches of earlier centuries are mostly gone, although the tower of the medieval Chiesa di Santa Caterina continues to dominate the bucolic landscape.
		The most interesting sight on Mazzorbo, at least for fans of architecture and urban planning, is the government-assisted "case soziale" housing project designed by Giancarlo De Carlo.
		The houses, which are painted in Buranese colors, were built from 1979 to 1986.

	ALATA -The Islands in the Upper Venetian Lagoon
		To the north-west, the island of Mazzorbo is bordered by the canal of the same name which divides it into Mazzorbo and Mazzorbetto, to the south-east by the island of Burano, to the north-east by the canal that separates it from Torcello.
		At Mazzorbo there is still a part of the Austrian defence line.
		It is the fort of Mazzorbo, abandoned until 1981, which is now being slowly restored.

		Or if the borin blows hard from the east, the pigeons sit in long rows under the eaves of the Procuratie; their necks drawn into their shoulders, and the neck feathers ruffled round their heads, till they have lost all shape, and look like a row of slate-coloured cannon balls.
		They have even found their way to Malamocco and Mazzorbo; so that all Venice in the sea owns and protects its sacred bird.
		They are boundlessly greedy, and will stuff themselves till they can hardly walk, and the little red feet stagger under the loaded crop.

	Torcello
		Not far from Burano, once the Canale Mazzorbo is doubled, there is the third among the most famous Venetian isles: Torcello.
		Torcello, inevitable tourist destination, is a joyful isle with prosperous farm-lands, that maintains the charm that used to be.
		Very long ago it used to be the centre of an austere and flourishing civilization.

		Fondata nel VI secolo, l'isola ebbe una crescita lenta a causa della vicinanza di Mazzorbo e Torcello, tanto che solo nel XIII secolo vi comparvero i primi complessi religiosi.
		Il centro abitato è celebre anche per le sue case policrome: è infatti abitudine degli abitanti dipingere la propria abitazione con colori molto vivaci e in contrasto con quelli delle case limitrofe.
		Accanto a Burano sorge Mazzorbo, piccola isola collegata alla prima da un ponte di legno, dove sorgevano ricche ville nobiliari e conventi e dove oggi si estendono vigneti e campi coltivati a frutteti.

		Founded in the 6th century, the island developed slowly as it is near Mazzorbo and Torcello, and the first religious buildings were built only in the 13th century.
		The town is also popular for its multi-coloured house: indeed the inhabitants paint their house with bright colours contrasting with those of the houses nearby.
		Near Burano there is Mazzorbo, small Island linked to the first one with a wooden bridge, where rich aristocratic villas and convents were and where today there are vineyards and orchards.

		If your gondolier is young and handsome he will never let you leave Burano without escorting you to the lace school, where he will pose in a fascinating attitude, and "break to the girls the heart," as he will afterward explain to you if he is questioned on the subject.
		Its canals are lined, not with masonry, but with sloping banks of green; and picturesque bits of ruined arches, and solitary marble columns lying half hidden in the luxuriant grass, show that Mazzorbo was once a city, though nature and cabbages have now reclaimed it.
		George, with its church and campanile, is familiar to every one, and is properly part and parcel of Venice.

		I headed for the distant campanile, but when I arrived at the church, I found it closed.
		Mazzorbo was once a major port, but there's not much left now but a couple of villas and the Roman-Gothic church of Santa Caterina, which dates from 1283, small and lovely with a wooden ceiling and a number of interesting paintings.

		The second day we toured a few other islands by way of the public transportation (boats - as close as we could afford to a gondola ride).
		We saw Murano, famous for its glass, Burona, where they make a lot of lace, and Mazzorbo, a tiny island connected to Burona.
		Even though it was a little chilly, the lack of tourists made up for it.

		Burano –; a half hour from the crush of Venice - is a world apart.
		Distinguished from a distance by the tall dramatically tilted tower of its church, Burano is one of Venice’s main islands – the others are Torcello, Burano, Mazzorbo and the Lido.
		Part of its charm is that is not overrun by marauding tourists feeding pigeons in the Piazza San Marco, hanging over the Bridge of Sighs, bargaining for leather at the Rialto, or buying silly straw hats for their long-awaited sunset gondolier ride.
