Ponte dei tre archi - Cannareggio - Venice
Ponte dei tre archi - Cannareggio

As I am so lucky to live just at 40 kilometers from this dream city, I visit it often and I like mostly to stroll on calli that are far from the crowded tourist areas.
Cannareggio and the Ghetto are the areas I prefere.

You ought to come in February to see it so empty!!
You ought to come in February to see it so empy!! - Venice

Venice is always crowded, i have been there so many times and in so many different months, seemed to never stop being full of tourist, but the first week end of February this year I saw Piazza San Marco as you can see... empty!!
It was a great surprise that morning to wake up in our hotel and see the snow coming down... and so cold!! Unfortunally the snow melted when touch the ground but discouraged people to go around and i could see it as i never saw before.
See my album from some picture of snow in Venice.

The secret Venice of Corto Maltese. Fantastic and hidden itineraries

A different guidebook to know a special Venice, sometimes withdrawn and hidden where only the true Venetians go, or the magical and fantastic atmospheres one that would have researched a sailor adventurer like Corto Maltese. Seven itineraries, full of drawings and practical advices, across masterpieces to discover, yards and rich stones of story, to know stories and legends, but also taverns, refreshing and places "just" to drink, to eat or, simply to enjoy an atmosphere or a state of mind.

    Credo che farò un salto a Venezia la settimana prossima. Jewish credo, non Jewiss.

    Ciao!

    Ho notato che la forbice prezzo minimo-prezzo massimo è molto ampia. Il prezzo massimo è applicato per il Carnevale, a Capodanno e Ferragosto o molto più spesso?

    Amazing stuff, an "insider's look and guide" to Venice. The quiet bed and breakfast looks like a terrific find. :)

    You have picked great place to take front-page photo for your Venice page. Ponte dei Tre Archi is beautiful. You are lucky to live near Venice, and lucky to have opportunity to visit Cappella degli Scrovegni often. Best regards, I&V
