  • My favourite thing was just getting lost in the back streets and finding hidden local shops, galleries, and pizzerias. Venice is magic. ...Truly a magical place! I found Venice to be like an artist's set of a stage. Everything so quaint and individual. Through the magical mazed streets, I will struggle to match this truly unique place

  • On a recent visit to Venice I sailed to Murano, about a half our ride in a waterbus. Murano is very small and bereft of most amenities such as trattoria (cafe), hotel or even the usual tourist junk sellers. It's also very quiet there.

    People on Murano are just focused on their glass making, which is a huge money business for them, and they don't want to use up their time & talents making beads. The big money sellers are huge wonderful vases, statues, sculptures, fountains, chandeliers, life size glass animals, etc.

  • Venice, city of canals. Venice was built in a shallow lagoon, with the canals serving the function of roads - every form of transport is on water or on foot. In fact, Venice is Europe’s largest car-free zone, unique in Europe in remaining a sizeable functioning city in the 21st century entirely without cars or trucks.

  • Venice Burano
  • Colourful House in Burano
  • by draguza

  • Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although like Venice itself it could more correctly be called an archipelago of islands linked by bridges.
    Burano is also known for its small, brightly-painted houses, popular with artists.

    The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development; if someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot. This practice has resulted in the myriad of warm, pastelly colours that characterises the island today.

  • The Venice Ferrari Store is the ninth official Prancing Horse outlet and the twelfth in the world. The latest Store comes after openings in Maranello, Rome, Milan, Las Vegas, Shanghai and Hangzhou and the Shops at Bologna, Milano Malpensa and Roma Fiumicino airports.

    The new Store is a point of reference for Ferrari fans. Inside, apparel, leather goods, luxury accessories, scale models and toys can be found. There is a complete range of products for clients of the marque, supporters and children.
