Laundry day on Burano

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Burano is famed for its lace, mostly – though not totally – produced by women. This female resident is one of a fading generation of traditional lace makers. Laundry out to dry, she hand-weaves her latest masterpiece whilst her man oversees the production, contributing his two cents. Hmm… what is the Italian for ‘backseat driver’?
