Inspiring Burano, Murano & Mazzorbo Day
Words cannot describe what an inspiring, amazing day our family had with Marzia visiting Mazzorbo, Burano and Murano. From the very beginning, Marzia was so engaging (perfect English) by sharing her experiences as a lifelong Venetian…with information about history, art, architecture, culture, key religious and political figures, and stories of these magical spots outside the main tourist areas of Venice. We stepped back in time to Venice’s earliest developments and made connections to current day. She was so gracious with wonderful humor as we explored these 3 islands with churches, homes, merchants (e.g., Burano lace and Murano glass) and food. Thank you Marzia….we cannot wait to return to Venice!
