  • It's not the Bridge of Sospiri, nor the Accademia Bridge but shall it have a famous name to end up in a picture???

  • Venezia and glass handworks are synonyms and at Murano you won't have any difficulty to find a workshop happy to show you how they blow glass and then their showroom where they are ready to sell you from the cheapest gewgaw to the most expensive piece of art.

    And don't miss the Glass Museum which reveals you all secrets of this material!

    Villas outside Venice: Villa Pisani

  • One of the most famous villas of Riviera of Brenta, now also National Museum.

    It goes back to 1700 and was erected by Pisani family, later on it was sold to Napoleone I.

    One of the most outstanding artists who decorated it was Tiepolo.

    The gardens are also worth a visit and if you go there, enjoy the maze also for me... when there, it had been too rainy and it was closed to the public... :-(((

  • In piazza San Marco you cannot miss the Basilica, the entrance is free but you have to pay if you want to see the treasure or go up to the gallery, both at a few bucks.

  • It's surely worth a visit and the 18.000 liras ticket entitles you to other 6 museums: Correr Museum, Archaeological Museum, Marciana Library, Mocenigo Palace, Glass Museum, Lace Museum.

  • still about the Doge's Palace, keywords are: paintings, furnished rooms of the different historical periods, golden stuccos, a good view on the seaside from the hall of Maggior Consiglio, the armoury, the prison and the Sospiri Bridge seen from inside...
