The islands of Murano and Burano Murano is world-renowned for its glass products. Its glass-making industry began in 1291 when the city of Venice moved the glass furnaces and the glass artisans to Murano to avoid the risk of fire to city buildings and also because of the smoke. By the 15th and 16th centuries, Murano was the main glass-making centre in Europe
Burano can be recognized from a distance by the tall, tilted tower of its San Martino church. With 5,000 inhabitants, Burano island is densely populated. This is a fishing village and on a walk around the waterways you’ll see lots of little fishing boats. Burano is famous for its lace. In the 16th century, Burano’s lace was the most sought after in Europe. With its fine, delicate work, Burano lace became known as puno in aria (“points in the air”).Unfortunately its prestigious lace industry collapsed in the 18th century due to foreign competition and the decline in the Republic.
