Name of Shop: Billa
This one was on Zattere Fondamenta. See the lady with the wheeled cart? That's the over-40-venetian-lady way. They even have hooks to hang them on in the store while you shop. (the carts, not the ladies) There are a variety of smaller grocery shops too. We used a smaller one called 'Punta" in St. Margherita Campo a lot. The Punta charged a few cents for their grocery bags, so we learned to take them back to re-use. I can't remember if the Billa charged for bags...
What To Buy: Good food in the deli department way in the back of the store--search it out!
What To Pay: Cheaper than eating out every night.

Name of Shop: Shopping for fruit
Our host warned us that when we went shopping for fruit, not to touch it with our bare hands--a big NO, NO. Instead you tell the vendor what you want and they will bag it for you, or sometimes, especially in the grocery stores, there are plastic hand gloves for you to wear. Just look for the dispenser.

Name of Shop: Vittorio Costantini
This artist specializes in small animals, especially insects. The detail is awesome. You have to see it to believe it. Butterflies, beetles, birds, etc.
What To Buy: Prices aren't cheap, but the craftmanship warrants the prices!

Your Venice page is very nice. You managed to grab the World Cup atmosphere and that seems to be a great fun. Thanks for sharing. With all the best wishes, I&V | Anchovy56 Thu May 10, 2007 18:55 UTC
