All the houses of Burano are colored, but the house of Bepi Suà (also called "Bepi of Candies") is the most colored house of the island:
decorated with geometric forms of any type such as circles, squares, triangles, dyed of yellow, orange, red, blue and all colors of the rainbow.
Bepi, aka Giuseppe Toselli, besides being a lover of painting was also a movie buff.
Passion born during his working at the Cinema Favin, where he was employed as a janitor and maintenance.
When the cinema was closed, he began to sell sweets in Burano's Galuppi Square: hence the name of Bepi of Candies.
Until the early eighties, during the warm summer evenings, he was used to organize the outdoor cinema in his campiello: after having hung a white sheet on the wall of his house, he has been throwing cartoons and funny movies for the delectation of the Burano's children.
The Bepi's house now appears in many postcards and is well known worldwide. It is without a doubt the most famous home of Burano .
Bepi is gone now, but all the "Burano's former children" who was usual to pass in front of his dwelling with friends, remember him as that strange man who every afternoon was always painting a new geometric shape on the wall of his house which was colorful, strange, dark inside and full of old objects such as television and film recorders.
Every day his house has been having a drawing in more until the year in which he died. Since then the house has been restored and its external facade has remained unchanged.
Still today the house of Bepi is most colorful home in Burano.
