It is thanks to a guided tour that I could find out about the history and culture of one of the most fascinating places in Venice: the Jewish ghetto.

Nowadays, It is known as the bridge of love, however, the Bridge of Sighs hides deeds very far away from being sentimental.

While I went on a trip to Venice I heard about the remèr, a peculiar profession which calls for particular manual skills and an undeniable talent for it. Do you know which its tasks are?

Burano, on top of being incredibly beautiful and multi-coloured, it is also a nest of traditions, legends and curious facts.

Oh, San Marco Basilica what an incredible beauty… and it’s even more enjoyable to visit if you purchase a skip-the-queue ticket -as I personally did-to skip the never-ending queue.

Finding out how these particular means of transportation are brought into the world has been a real feast for the eyes, nonetheless a chance to get to know an art that, little by little, though it should be worth of being preserved, seems condemned to disappear. At sunset we arrived at the ‘squero’…

It happened several times I found myself in Venice while the Carnival was taking place, losing myself within the partying crowd or staring in amazement from below at the spectacular ‘Volo dell’Angelo’.

We learned how the glass is modelled and blown, in order to become a proper masterpiece. A really unique and unforgettable experience: a disclosure of this Venetian art as we had never seen it before.
