Piazza San Marco, the great lagoon, the gondolas along the Grand Canal, the bridge of Sighs, the exciting and highly theatrical carnival, the magnificent architecture, the artistic masterpieces, the delicate lace of Burano, the fabulous Murano glass, the splendidly ornate palazzi, the magic of the calli, all part of the fascinating charm which captivates visitors arriving in the ancient capital of the “Serenissima”, as Venice has been called for some time. A powerful economic force for over eleven hundred years, Venice formed an important bridge between the east and west, becoming a perfect synthesis of the reciprocal traditions, as can be witnessed in the arabesque motifs in the churches, or the Byzantine mosaics which adorn the public, private and ecclesiastical buildings. This is also the city where, alongside dwellings which are centuries old, one finds the modern annex of the Guggenheim museum.
Venice, so well known, yet still to be truly discovered.
