Invitation to Venezia
Miraculously constructed on the waters of the lagoon, Venice never ceases to amaze and fascinate visitors. Intense signs of history are visible everywhere illustrating the epic of the city torn from the water and grown in the shadows of Bisanzio thanks to trade and ships. The apt tourist can breathe in the essence of a city that changes with the changing emotions of each one, amplifying the sentiments of the observer. As it is possible to pursue the sublime pleasure of solitude at Venice, it is also possible to savour worldly joys in the lounges that often host splendid balls.

| Walking around |
 |
San Marco Square: it is known as “the most beautiful lounge in Europe.” It is about 176 metres long, enclosed by the splendid San Marco basilica and the Clock Tower.
|
|
San Marco Basilica: resumed in its form are the Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic styles, fruit of six centuries of work and integration.
|
|
Ca’ d’Oro: the most celebrated of the city’s gothic buildings, in which the Galleria Fianchetti is hosted.
|
|
Rialto Bridge: from the 1500s, crowned from high up by arches, the only bridge on the canal until 1854.
|
|
Palazzo Ducale: the maximum expression of Venetian Gothic and heart of the institutions of the Republic.
|
|
Bridge of Sighs: connecting the Ducal Palace to the old prisons, it takes its name from the sighs of the prisoners who crossed it for the last time before being judged.
|
|
The islands of Murano and Burano: the first island is the homeland of glass, where they still produce splendid artisan works; the second island is noted for the production of artisan lace.

| Things to do |
The third Saturday in July, Christ is celebrated with a procession of barges until the Redentore church is reached, and you are treated with a night watch of illuminated small boats in the Giudecca canal and in San Marco's dock.
Among the demonstrations of international resonance, we remember the Biennale d’Arte, the Regata Storica along the Canal Grande (the first Sunday in September) and that of the Marinare Republics (every four years).
