Burano, the Venetian island famous for its colorful houses and lace tradition, is a place that enchants visitors with its unique and picturesque atmosphere. Walking through its narrow streets, you can breathe the authenticity and history of this fascinating island.
The alleys of Burano are a labyrinth of colors and architectural details that tell the daily life of the inhabitants. The houses, painted in bright colors, create a spectacular contrast with the canals and moored boats. Every corner of the island offers a new perspective and a new story to discover.
In one of these alleys there was this beautiful arch (which in architecture is called sbatacchio arch) which has a decorative but also structural function; in fact, it helps to maintain the stability of the buildings when the space between two buildings is short.
One of the most famous aspects of Burano is the lace tradition. The lace makers of the island have passed down this art from generation to generation, creating works of extraordinary beauty and precision. Visiting one of the lace workshops is an unmissable experience for anyone who wants to learn about this ancient tradition up close.
Visiting Burano means immersing yourself in a world of colors, traditions and history. Every alley, every house and every architectural detail contribute to creating a unique atmosphere that fascinates and enchants. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this wonderful Venetian island and let yourself be surprised by its timeless beauty.

Alcuni bei fiori fotografati in un vivaio

Alcuni bei fiori fotografati in un vivaio.
Qualche settimana fa, anzi direi un paio di mesi, sono stato con mia moglie a visitare un grande vivaio di fiori e piante della mia zona.
Non mi sono potuto esimere dallo scattare decine di foto e piano piano le inserirò.
Di alcuni fiori sono riuscito a sapere il nome, di altri proprio no.
Qui ne pubblico un po’!

Ti piacciono i fiori e magari sai indicarmi i nomi di quelli nelle foto? Scrivimelo lasciando un commento here.
