Mike your captivating question on who decides the color selection on each house has got me excited I wonder if you have found the answer as yet? Rohinton
Hi Rohinton…Ha, no, I never did find out. It is pretty interesting though isn’t it. Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to post a comment. Cheers, Mike
Mike, I can answer your question…. The houses have had the colorful tradition for ever. The story is that fishermen wanted the houses painted in colorful hues so that they could find their homes in the foggy nights. The colors follow a specific plan, and when an owner wants to paint his/her house, he/she must request permission from the comune which will give them the list of colors permitted for that particular lot.
Hi Cristina…thank you so much for sharing this info and for stopping by. Hope you’ll come back for more inspired travel. 🙂 Cheers, Mike
