  • Venice is a romantic and picturesque city, which inspired many painters and artists allready for centuries.

    At the Ponte dell Accademia with saw this artist painting the Basilica di S Maria della Salute. For sure he was not the first to do so.

  • Most gondolas have a black colour and are ornated with the so-called ferro in the front of the boat. This ferro is a contra weight for the gondolier, standing at the backside.

    The metallic teeth symbolize the six sestieri of Venice. At special occasions the gondola is decorated with flowers. It was such a nice coincidence to see this bridal couple, using the traditional gondola as mean of transport at their wedding day.
