If you plan to leave for a short stay in Venice, our advice is to participate in one of the many tours that allow you to discover the islands of the Venetian lagoon archipelago:\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/buranoMurano<\/a><\/p>\n The island of Torcello\u00a0is inhabited by just 20 inhabitants<\/strong>. Legend has it that it was one of the places\u00a0crossed by the Huns<\/strong>, led by the legendary Attila. And it is precisely Attila who, according to legend, would be\u00a0the owner of the stone seat<\/strong>\u00a0at the center of the main square of the small island. But another theory would attribute the seat to the activity of a judge.<\/p>\n Burano is famous for its lacemakers<\/strong>, ladies who with their art have made the island one of the most visited places in the Venetian lagoon along with Murano. Even today, if you visit these areas, you can find the few lacemakers left who create lace on the pillow.\u00a0Yet Burano is remembered above all for its colors<\/strong>\u00a0that embellish the walls of all its houses, forming a rainbow of a thousand shades.<\/p>\n Universally recognized as the island of glass<\/strong>, Murano is after Venice the main tourist attraction for those who choose to discover the wonders of the Lagoon.\u00a0The beginning of the production of glass on the island dates back to 1200<\/strong>. Originally there was a very precise need, far from any artistic ambition. In fact, the construction of the furnaces for the transformation of silicon sand into glass was necessary to minimize the high risk of fires in Venice and its surroundings in those times.<\/p>\n If Murano is the island of glass,\u00a0Sant\u2019Erasmo is considered the vegetable garden of Venice<\/strong>. The main curiosity linked to the island lies in the fact that each year it supplies the Veneto capital with innumerable first fruits. Hence the nickname assigned to it in recent times.\u00a0The most famous plant of Sant\u2019Erasmo is the artichoke<\/strong>. During a short stay on the island you can taste\u00a0the characteristic beer flavored with artichoke<\/strong>, an authentic delicacy!<\/p>\n No inhabitants, no piers on which you can dock.<\/strong>\u00a0Among the reasons why Poveglia is known as\u00a0a ghost island<\/strong>, one can certainly note these two gloomy details. Poveglia has been uninhabited for over half a century and owes its fame to\u00a0the old psychiatric hospital<\/strong>\u00a0that once stood on the island. Moreover, in the past Poveglia was used as\u00a0a hospital for the persons affected by the plague<\/strong>. To reach it it\u2019s essential to know somebody who has a boat, as it is cut off from the routes of public transport in the lagoon.<\/p>\n From the name you can guess\u00a0the close link between the island of San Lazzaro and the Armenian people<\/strong>. On this island of the Venetian Lagoon stands an ancient monastery founded by some Armenian monks in the early eighteenth century, after having fled from Greece. In the Hellenic country, in those years,\u00a0the Armenian population was subject to violent persecution.<\/strong>\u00a0The famous English poet Lord Byron visited San Lazzaro to deepen his knowledge of the Armenian people.<\/p>\n La Giudecca, also called Spina Longa<\/strong>\u00a0(due to its particular geographic conformation), is after Venice\u00a0the most extensive island<\/strong>\u00a0of the entire archipelago of the Lagoon. Overall it consists of 8 other smaller islands. The name Giudecca probably dates back to the time when the island\u00a0was the residence for the Jewish population<\/strong>. Among its main monuments are\u00a0the Church of the Redeemer<\/strong>\u00a0and the Church and Convent of the Zitelle, the latter designed by Andrea Palladio.<\/p>\n Are you ready to go on a tour of the islands of the lagoon?

[\/av_one_full]<\/p>Non tutti forse lo sanno, ma Venezia \u00e8 parte integrante di un arcipelago di oltre 100 isole, dove storia e cultura si uniscono, creando uno spazio ricco di curiosit\u00e0 e aneddoti. Alcune di queste isole sono scomparse, inghiottite dal mare, altre invece continuano a sopravvivere, regalando scenari unici e una letteratura di grande interesse. <\/span><\/h5>
