Catch a Vaperetto from Venice for a forty minute ride to Burano, an island in the Venetian lagoon.Take a stroll past the shops selling lace, for which Burano is famous for.
Come out of from the buildings into a mini version of Venice.
There in front of you is the best advert for external house paint you could find.
Many houses painted in bright colours.
Who decides what house is painted which colour ?
Is there a committee that takes the decisions ?

If a person paints a house one colour is the neighbour not allowed to paint their house the same colour ?
Where do they get exterior paint in those colours ?
If the locals re-painted their houses in white would the tourists stay away and the lace industry disappear ?
