Venice 7 Torcello

 With the men out fishing, the women developed their skill at lace making and shops sell lace products like linens and clothes. The also developed their own local butter cookie. You'll see the pictures.

The second island we visited was Torcello. It is very small with about 27 residents. Visitors come to visit the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, with its Venetian-Byzantine mosaics.

Again we could not visit it because the area was still flooded.
