The way you approach the shores of the harlequin island of Burano is of crucial importance. The boat trip across the lagoon serves to free the mind of all the impurities that everyday existence generates, leaving the senses perfectly attuned and calibrated. If conditions in the lagoon are right, then all will go according to plan. The island will burst noisily into your conciousness and thoughts with its bright colours, taken form a naïf artist’s palette. However, Burano cona also avoid contact with strangers for as long as possible, playing hide-and-seek with them until it sweeps theatrically into view in all its dazzling finery.
