Oh magic Torcello ! I miss it, it was a real peaceful spot. Haha, they still renovate the Ponte Diavolo (as of mid 2007). Morning smiles to Ljubljana :-))

The Virgin of Torcello has been on my list of Things I Must See for a long time now. Your visit with a singing boatman sounds just about perfect. leyle

Torcello looks so beautiful! I really would have loved to visit the cathedral on the island, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time left to include in my visit to Venice. Maybe a next time :-)

I'm sorry that I didn't visit Torcello, it looks quite different to the islands I did see. Wonderful Santa Maria Assunta, quite historic.
