The evocative landscape that emerges strikes any visitor and has its roots in a rather peculiar legend; in fact, it is said that this tradition of painting houses was a remedy to prevent the exchange of houses in case of fog when returning from a day of fishing. Another characteristic of this island is the development of an ancient all-female craft, namely the making of lace that has become world famous.In the square that also houses the parish church, we suggest you visit the Lace Museum dedicated to this activity of excellence that has made history.
