The irresistible lightness of damasks, brocades, satins, velvets and trimmings and the old art of the Burano lace
This is an exclusive visit which will permit you to see the high quality luxury Venetian hand made fabrics still weaved with the 18th century looms. 
The visit to this very famous Venetian Company must be pre-booked.
We will also see how the traditional lace-making is stitched in a characteristic workshop in Venice or if you prefer to add a boat ride to Burano Island (a nearby, pretty and colourful fishing island) where we can show you how the original lace-making is made.
