Note: Buratto embroidery is named after buratto cloth which is embroidery worked on an open, even weave cloth with a single warp and a double weft. The ground has a square mesh. Designs are worked in running stitch and may be counted or drawn directly onto the net. Buratto embroidery can be classed as an embroidered lace.
Some of the earliest written references to buratto embroidery are found in a pattern book called Il Burato, Libro de Recami, which was originally published by Alessandro Paganino in 1518. Another buratto pattern book was published by Matio Pagano in Venice, in 1559. Examples of seventeenth century buratto work were often embroidered with colored silks. It was popular in the nineteenth century to copy earlier examples and it can be difficult to distinguish older from the newer versions.
