  • Favorite Thing: Hire a gondola and explore the canals.

    Fondest Memory: Every year for centuries a special ceremony took place to reaffirm the importance of Venice's maritime commerce. A procession of gilded barges would proceed along the Grand Canal. On board would be the Doge as well as council members and church officials. The Doge would drop a gold ring into the water along the way to symbolize that Venice was forever wedded to the sea.
