- Museum of Burano :
In the museum you'll find examples of Venetian laces and
Burano Laces. Both are needlelaces but are different in their construction.
The venetian laces are made joining the motifs with bars,
the Burano laces have a net ground entirely made with needle.
In the museum there are, mostly, examples of Venetian lace
("very" wonderful tableclothes !),
but there are wonderful fans and gloves without fingers
made in Burano lace.( information from Tiziana Sammuri, Taranto (ITALY)

- lace biennial
There are normally 4 exhibitions: local lace, Italian lace, lace from all over the world, and lace for the competitions.
The 1998 themes were related to Marco Polo and Poetry. This year there was also a fashion exhibition, the patterns of the woven or printed fabrics were inspired by lace patterns.Sansepolcro is situated in the Arezzo province of Toscana, so the 'normal' way to get there by public transport is Via Florence and Arezzo. Sansepolcro is however the end station on the Umbrian railway from Perugia. It is possible to travel by train from Rome changing at the station Perugia Ponte St. Giovanni.
There is a crossbow competition in Sansepolcro the second Sunday in September each year, the lace biennial is held in connection with that event every second year. The exhibitions last about one month. Next one in 2000.
