Italy 🇮🇹Rainbow Island

#GlobalTravel Do you know why the houses in Burano are colorful? This beautiful legend tells us that the women on the island came up with the idea of ​​painting their houses in bright colors so that their husbands who were out at sea fishing could find their way home. In fact, the real reason is recorded in history. It turns out that during the Black Death pandemic in the Middle Ages, residents who were infected would smear white lime inside and outside their homes to disinfect the plague, while residents who were not infected would quickly paint their houses in rainbow colors to tell everyone that they were not infected with the Black Death! This is the true origin of how the house was painted in the first place!
