The Mission

The mission of Fondazione Andriana Marcello is to revive in Burano the inimitable art of lace-making, which has made the island in the lagoon world-famous, to preserve its purity and splendor.

The Foundation wants to keep interest in lace alive so that new generations can also discover this ancient art which not only demonstrates particular lace-making techniques but is also tangible evidence of the often-troubled history of the island of Burano.
