English term or phrase: the island where the rainbow fell
This eliptical phrase was a piece of dialogue spoken by Rossano Brazzi in the 1955 film, "Summertime," directed by David Lean. I speak only standard Italian. I can't understand how he expresses it in Venetian dialect, in this situation, describing the colorful houses of Burano. I hear "l'isola" and "l'arcoboleno" but that's about it.

l'isola dove sono rappresentati tutti i colori dell'arcobaleno


Explanation:
letteralmente perchè caratteristica di Burano è l'avere abitazioni di tutti i colori, le facciate sono dipinte a colori vivacissimi che riprendono il caleidoscopio di colori di un arcobaleno

L'isola su cui è caduto l'arcobaleno


Explanation:
traducendo più letteralmente il verbo "fell" credo si mantenga un'immagine più vivida rappresentata dall'arcobaleno che cadendo sull'isola ne colora le case
