Description:
Venice – Venice is considered one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Italy. This city has an incredibly difficult and bright fate. It all starts in the 5th century. The heart and soul of Venice is Piazza San Marco. On a high column on the square there is a sculpture of a winged lion - a symbol of Venice. Doge's Palace, San Marco Cathedral, Bell Tower ("our Patron") In the Cathedral of San Marco, the remains of St. Mark the Apostle (the patron saint of Venice) have been buried for a thousand years. A walk along the canals of Venice leaves unforgettable impressions in the memory of tourists.
Murano Island is one of the largest islands located in the Venetian Lagoon. On its territory in 1291 and were removed all glass-blowing factories, and since then Venetian glass became known throughout Europe.
Legendary Venetian glass is the splendor and glory of Venice, the mystery and pride of Venice, the sun and sea of Venice.
“Nowhere in the world can one find masters who are able to make vases of such brittle material of such striking beauty of forms that put them much higher than both gold and silver vessels, and even those decorated with precious stones,” wrote the German monk Fra Fabro, who visited Venice in 1484. And
The most beautiful island near Venice is Burano. It is famous for the fact that all the houses of the island are painted in such bright colors that from the shore the panorama of Burano seems to be an animated page from a coloring book, which the five-year-old child decorated with all his favorite markers at once. In addition to houses in the color of "Barbie lipstick", buildings blue, like azure sky, or yellow, like ripe Sicilian lemons, on the island there are two-tone structures, that is, half of the house is painted in red, and the second half in contrasting green. " What did they use on Burano, since they were so fond of painting walls in different colors? Or is it out of love for art? the astonished tourist will ask. In fact, it's all the more prosaic. Just the island of Burano at dusk and at dawn is shrouded in a very dense fog, and the houses of bright colors served as a guide for sailors, that is, in fact, served as a lighthouse. Again, in the fog, it is easy to confuse your own home with the neighbor’s, and when the houses are multi-colored, the task of identifying your native monastery without assistance is much easier, and you do not need to shout like a Hedgehog through the fog: “Bear!” Unlike Venice, which today is almost completely given to tourists, and therefore the locals in the city are many times less than the pigeons on San Marco, on the island of Burano, Italians still live quite a normal life. The main local craft is the weaving of precious snow-white lace. For example, Dolce & Gabbana, no collection of which is complete without lace dresses, buy lace on Burano. The process of making lace looks like this. First, a drawing is created on a special paper, and then Burano masters apply stitches to it with their pens using a simple needle. So it takes a couple of hours to create, for example, one lace collar. If you decide to bring home with Burano lace souvenir, then it is immediately worth saying that the cost of Burano lace is quite reasonable, for example, a collar that can be worn with a small black dress, will cost about 60 euros. Venice never ceases to amaze us how much more interesting can we see?
