ELISABETTA: Love, Peace and stay safe / 5,262 items
Half an hour away from Venice, in the middle of the lagoon, there is the wonderful island of Burano, well-known for the art of lace and its colourful houses inhabitated by fishermen. Here, at the beginning of the 20th century, Romano Barbaro opened a restaurant for the inhabitants of the island and the first tourists.
In 1910 the first painters landed at the island and were fascinated by the magic atmosphere of this place. Among the first artists there were Gino Rossi, umberto Moggioli, Pio Semeghini, Arturo Martini, Luigi Scopnich, that were important artists and men of letters who loved Burano met. In fact, in a short time, the restaurant was filled with paintings, which, still now, are as thickly hung at the walls as stamps on the pages of an album.
