Each lace-maker was specialized, even though she was capable of performing all the stitches The History of Burano Lace Martina Vidal Venezia has its main office in Burano, the island worldwide known for the outstanding artisanal production of Venetian lace. The making of Burano lace spread in the Republic of Venice in the 1500s. A strong boost to its expansion was given by the Dogaressa Morosina Morosini, who, having fallen in love with the art of Venetian needle lace, eventually created a workshop at the end of the 14th century, in which 130 lace-makers found work, and whose production served partly to increase the dogaressa’s personal trousseau, partly to be sent as gifts on special occasions to the most prestigious courts of Europe. As the years passed, Venetian laces became increasingly coveted and requested throughout Europe. It is said that on the day of his coronation as King of France, Louis XIV wore an original and precious lace collar that stood out on his cloak, made by skillful lace-makers from the island of Burano in two years of patient work. In the 17th century, the century par excellence of lace that we find in men's, women's, children's, and ecclesiastical attire, Venice specialized in creating incomparable and elegant needle-made pieces, without renouncing bobbin lacework. The Venetian art of lace was highly appreciated in France, so that, thanks to Catherine de’ Medici and Minister Colbert, some lace-makers from Burano moved to the royal manufactories of Remis where they worked the “Punto in aria” (a lace point typical of Burano) under the direction of Sister Maria Colbert, Minister Colbert’s niece. In 1665 the “Punto in aria” became “Point de France,” initiating strong competition to Burano lace. Nevertheless, the Point de France never managed to equal the Venetian one. In 1797, with the end of the Venetian Republic, the production of lace also ended, becoming a solely family business. The winter of 1872 was very cold and represented, for Burano’s economy based exclusively on fishing, a true tragedy. It was then that, thanks to the involvement of Countess Andriana Marcello and the honorable Paolo Fambri, the art of needle lace was revived with the main aim of alleviating, in some way, the dire economic conditions of the Burano population. The memory of Burano lace’s golden period was kept in the memory of an elderly old lady, Vincenza Memo – called Cencia Scarpariola, and it was she who revealed its secrets to a primary school teacher, Anna Bellorio d’Este, who in turn taught them to her daughters and to other girls. The “Punto in Aria” and the “Punto rosa” returned to prominence and a school was established, so much so that needle lace became Burano Island’s main resource. Thanks to the constant support of Countess Andriana Marcello, many noble ladies of the time—including the Princess of Saxony-Weimar, the Duchess of Hamilton, Countess Bismarck, Princess Metternich, the Queen of the Netherlands, and Queen Margherita—entrusted important commissions to the school: in 1875 there were more than one hundred lace-makers. The school’s production continued to grow until 1915, when World War I began. During World War II and in the following years the school experienced periods of prosperity and others less so, until it definitively closed in 1970.
