| Burano Island, also called the island of lace, acquired its name from Porta Boreana, the northern door of the city. Since the time of Venetian Republic, Burano had only 8000 inhabitants, predominantly fishermen and farmers. Thanks to the craft of the lace workers, the island grew economically, exporting its incredible laces all over the world. The visitors of Burano remain astonished at the amazing colourful houses, which reflect the liveliness of this small island.
