July 2022
I am Andrea Jarach, editor of the Welcome Magazines, periodicals that we have been publishing for 12 years for international visitors in some of the most important cities for tourism in Italy. Since last April we have added Verona to the traditional editions of Venice, Florence, Turin and expanded our Milan magazine to the Lombardy region. We wanted to make an act of faith in the solidity of Italy’s tourist attractions. Welcome Magazine is here to accompany visitors in their discovery of Italy’s attractions. As you can see in the following pages, the Welcome Magazine offers useful information about events, shopping, food and wine, everything that can interest the visitor answering the question: “what can I do, what can I discover during my stay?”. Our aim is to create memorable experiences of the visit, also by linking together the different opportunities offered by the area. Our mission is to provide essential tourist information for the benefit of visitors who choose wonderful Italy as their destination. You will find the Welcome Magazines in the approximately 500 hotels belonging to the Welcome Magazine circuit in Italy. You can therefore use the traditional paper editions, but don’t miss the chance to browse through the pages of the digital and interactive editions also on your computers and smartphones. As always, you will also be able to access tourist information through our website www.welcomemagazine.it, which is always up-to-date and full of ideas for your trip. Welcome to Italy, discover and enjoy!

All about the
WELCOME | PANORAMA
− Everyone knows that the gondola is Venice’s most typical
craft: made from 8 different types of wood, gondolas are constructed in boat yards called ‘squeri’ by gondola builders – the ‘squeraroli’ and ‘maestri d’ascia’ (masters of the ax) – who have been in this line of work since the 11th century.
− Private gondolas no longer exist and the last person who owned one was art heiress Peggy Guggenheim.
− Every gondola is 11 metres long, 1.40 metres wide and
0.65 metres high. The oar is made of beech and the ‘forcola’, the stylized oarlock, is made of walnut. Eight kinds of different wood are used to build a gondola – oak, elm, lime, larch, fir, cherry, walnut, and mahogany. The only parts in metal are the ‘ferro’ in the front and the ‘risso’ at the back.
−
It’s not easy to become a professional gondolier. Requirements include attending a special school, passing a public competition set by the ‘Ente Gondola’ and being apprenticed to a professional gondolier for 6 to 12 months. The final step includes passing a rigorous practical exam.
− Traditionally, only men were allowed to be gondoliers. The
first female gondolier – or gondoliera – was licensed in 2010. Giorgia Boscolo, the daughter of 40-year gondolier veteran, was the first to pass the requirements and obtain a license.
− One of the few remaining ‘squeri’ still operating today in Venice is located in the sestiere of Dorsoduro near San Trovaso (see photo), between the Accademia and the Zattere. The building housing the ‘squero’ resembles a typical mountain chalet because, traditionally, gondola builders came from the Veneto mountains of Cadore. Following its construction, the gondola is lowered into the water via a slide – a celebratory moment. www.squerosantrovaso.com

THE WATER WAY OF WONDERS
WELCOME | PANORAMA
− Venice’s major water artery, measuring approximately 4km
in length and between 30 and 70 metres in width, follows a natural channel that traces a reverse ‘S’ course that divides the city from the north-west to the south-east, connecting various landmarks of historic, artistic and touristic interest.
−
The Grand Canal is lined with sumptuous villas and palaces that either belong, or belonged in the past, to noble Venetian families, and takes visitors on a trip through five centuries of history, from the 13th to the 18th centuries. It was originally a gateway to the Rialto market, and later became the focal point of the lagoon’s mercantile life. Nowadays, it’s a symbol of the city.
− The Grand Canal is best appreciated by boat, either on
a private water taxi or on the line 1 vaporetto, which departs from San Marco Vallaresso. In order to get the best view, we recommend sitting outside at the rear of the boat (the tour lasts for approximately one hour).
− Midway on the Grand Canal, we find the iconic Rialto
Bridge, for centuries the only means of crossing the Grand Canal on foot. To enjoy a bird’s eye view of the bridge, we suggest that you head to the luxury department store T Fondaco dei Tedeschi and take an elevator up to its terrace (don’t let the queues discourage you). From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the Grand Canal and the roofs of the city. The view at sunset is particularly spectacular and the terrace is open until 7.45pm.

SCUOLA GRANDE DI SAN ROCCO AN ARTISTIC TREASURE IN VENICE
INDEX 12
WELCOME | PANORAMA
−
When visiting Venice, people often overlook certain buildings renowned for their historic value and artistic treasures. These are the ‘Scuole’, brotherhoods or associations of lay members in the ancient Republic of Venice, who met to provide assistance to people in need. The ‘Scuole’ are typically Venetian, and are rarely found in other cities. Halfway between a church and a palazzo, these architectural masterpieces characterize several of Venice’s ‘campi’ (city squares).
−
The organization of each of these “Scuole” was more or less the same with their opulent facades opening onto a large salon on the ground floor for ceremonies, while the upper floor was intended for meetings of the Chapter.
− Just a short distance from Piazzale Roma, in the sestiere
of Dorsoduro, you can find the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, a spellbinding place, and a shrine to the skills of the artist, Tintoretto, one of the city’s acknowledged grand masters. Its beautiful façade, with its dazzling exterior reflecting the light of the moon on summer evenings, was built in 1516 based on a project by Bartolomeo Bon. Over time, his original project was modified by the work of other architects to create an architectural masterpiece infused with styles ranging from Renaissance to Baroque.
−
An interesting fact: Tintoretto won the commission to paint the building because he surprised everyone in a competition between the best artists of Venice. Instead of producing sketches as requested, he actually painted San Rocco in the centre of the ceiling, saying that he wished to gift it to San Rocco. He won the competition, surpassing artists of the caliber of Veronese and Salviati.

FROM HISTORY TO LEGEND The history of this iconic bridge dates back to the year 1000 when it was built as a pontoon bridge at the canal’s narrowest point. Due to increased traffic it was replaced with a wooden bridge in 1181, known as the ‘Ponte della Moneta’ both due to the toll that people had to pay when crossing it and because the city’s mint was located at its easternmost end. In 1250, its wooden piles were replaced by a mobile structure and its
16
name was changed to the Rialto bridge. A dark period followed. In fact, during this time, the bridge collapsed and was damaged several times. It was only in 1588 that the Senate of the Serenissima decided to announce a competition to finally rebuild a stone bridge. Numerous renowned architects submitted their projects, including Sansovino, Vignola and Palladio. However the daring but scenically impact-making design submitted by the aptly named Antonio da Ponte

was chosen. His bridge consisted of a single 22 meter stone arch span, supported by a broad rectangular deck carrying two arcades of shops and ‘botteghe’ fronting on three roadways. Legend has it that da Ponte was visited by Satan himself who, in exchange for his help, asked the architect to pledge the soul of the first person crossing the bridge to him. The architect thought that he would trick Satan by having a cock cross the bridge for the first time. However, on learning about this deception,
Satan vindicated himself by tricking da Ponte’s pregnant wife into crossing the bridge. Her child was stillborn, and according to legend, his soul wandered haplessly, for years, on the Rialto bridge, until a gondolier finally helped it to cross over to the other side. Even the famous street market boasts a storied past. In fact, historic documents testify to its presence way back in 1097 when it was much larger than its current counterpart and sold exotic goods and spices and precious fabrics.

regulations set centuries ago for minimum allowable sizes for lagoon fish. FOR SHOPPING ADDICTS However, Rialto also means shopping. While strolling through the ‘rione’s’ tiny streets or when crossing its bridge, you’ll come across several unusual shops that are imbued with the atmosphere of a bygone era. These include antique shops, artisans’ workshops, old book binding shops where books are still bound according
to time-honoured tradition, and jewelry stores selling original creations made from Murano glass beads. On the other hand, those in search of an amazing experience, should head to the old post office which now houses the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, a lavish, high-end department store and a magnificent feat of architecture that has been updated to brilliantly balance the old with new. The building boasts a marvelous terrace offering visitors a 360-degree view over Venice.

WELCOME | WHAT TO DO GIUDECCA CANAL, 16 JULY
ENJOY THE FIREWORKS!
Every year, on the third Sunday of July, Venice commemorates the city’s deliverance from the plague in the 16th century with a celebration known as the ‘Festa del Redentore’ or ‘Feast of the Redeemer’. This religious holiday and spectacular event is much loved by the people of Venice. The highlight of the event – held on Saturday night at 11.30pm – is a fireworks display that attracts thousands of spectators. The Feast of the Redeemer kicks off with the opening of the pontoon bridge connecting the Zattere to the Church of the Redeemer on the Island of Giudecca, and the presentation of the Venetian regatta boat crews. The Regattas of the Redeemer are held on Sunday in the Giudecca Canal and the event ends at 7pm with a Votive Mass at the Church of the Redeemer on the Island of Giudecca. Feast of the Redeemer.

WELCOME | WHAT TO DO CURIOSITIES >> NEW BALANCES For the first time in the over 127-year history of the Venetian institution, the Biennale includes a preponderant majority of female artists and non-binary subjects. >> A DELAYED EDITION The exhibition was conceived and realised in a period of great instability and uncertainty. Its genesis and execution coincided with the onset and ongoing continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic, which forced La Biennale to postpone this edition by a year - an event that had only occurred during the First and Second World Wars since 1895. That the exhibition can open is in itself an extraordinary fact. >> A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE The preparation of the Art Biennale lasted two years in a way never experienced before: remote meetings, in which the curator visited hundreds of artists’ studios around the world via screen, navigating through paintings, sculptures, videos, installations and performances that must have given her a very different perception from the one she would have experienced in person. >> A COLLEGE FOR ART AS WELL This year sees the birth of the first edition of “Biennale College”, a project dedicated to the training and support of young people in all artistic sectors. Already active in the sectors of Cinema, Dance, Music, Theatre and Historical Archives, the Biennale College was created with the aim of promoting young talent.

WELCOME | WHAT TO DO
A MAGICAL WORLD The name of the exhibition is inspired by the title of a book of fairy tales by the surrealist artist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) in which she describes a magical world where life is constantly reinvented, and in which one is allowed to change, transform, become something else. An inspiration born from some dialogues with artists in these last years of great uncertainty. At a time when the very survival of humanity is threatened, what are our responsibilities with regard to our own life and that of our planet? The artists are called upon to answer these questions, focusing in particular on three thematic areas: the representation of bodies and their metamorphoses; the relationship between individuals and technologies; and the links between bodies and the Earth. Open Tues-Sun Spring/Summer: 23 April > 25 September, 11am-7pm . Autumn: 27 September > 27 November, 10am-6pm Open on Mondays 25/04, 30/05, 27/06, 25/07, 15/08, 5/09, 19/09, 31/10, 21/11 Full Tickets: 25 euros

WELCOME | WHAT TO DO BIENNALE ARTE - EDITOR’S TIPS
In addition to the mainstream exhibitions of this Biennale Arte 2022, such as the extraordinary one by Anish Kapoor (see page 48), we would like to point out here some exhibitions or installations that we think are worth a visit. Because they are not to be missed, such as the Pavilion of Italy (guest country of the Biennale) or because they have a strong social content, such as those at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi or in the Piazza Ucraina space; because they are by a country taking part in the Art Biennale for the first time (Uganda), or because they are characterised by a touch of “Italian creativity”, such as those curated by Stefano Boeri or by OGR Torino.

PADIGLIONE ITALIA, A UNIQUE VOICE The exhibition History of Night and Destiny of Comets curated by Eugenio Viola, for the first time in the history of the Italian Pavilion presents the work of a single artist: Gian Maria Tosatti. The curator has chosen to propose a project that works as a powerful statement on contemporaneity, able to give a courageous reading of the present and give Italy a unique voice. The large environmental installation, conceived specifically for the spaces of the Tese delle Vergini, is an ambitious, immersive project that tackles the relationship between man and nature in an original way. 28

PIAZZA UCRAINA, A SYMBOLIC SITE A special project landed at the Biennale a few days before the opening, conceived as a space dedicated to Ukrainian artists and their resistance to Russian aggression: the Ukrainian Square is built around a monument covered with sandbags, a reference to the practice widespread in wartime Ukrainian cities to protect public art from bombing. The installation designed by Ukrainian architect Dana Kosmina is set up in the Spazio Esedra of the Giardini della Biennale.

FIRST-EVER UGANDA PAVILION Uganda, present for the first time with a National Pavilion at the Art Biennale, presents a dialogue between two artists from Kampala. Acaye Kerunen is a young socially engaged artist who emphasises the local and regional craft activities of Ugandan women, recognising the value of their activity in the climate ecosystem. Collin Sekajugo’s aesthetic approach is different, laying bare some truths behind conventional images of African culture. The exhibition “Radiance-They Dream in Time” is hosted in the spaces of Palazzo Palumbo Fossati. 30

WELCOME | WHAT TO DO A TALE OF HUMANITY AT FONDACO DEI TEDESCHI The installation at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi features works by the French-Moroccan photographer Leila Alaoui who was killed in a terrorist attack in 2016 while working on an Amnesty International commission for women’s rights. The exhibition consists of two parts: Les Marocains and Crossings. The first one presents a choral portrait of Morocco through its inhabitants in the form of gigantic photographs of great visual impact, some of which have never been seen before. The second depicts the journey undertaken by subSaharan migrants to reach Morocco and the shores of Europe through videos and images located on the fourth floor. Souk de Boumia, Moyen-Atlas

THE HOME FURNISHED WITH GLASS GLASS ART A critical retrospective of the glass furnishings of the legendary Milanese company FontanaArte, during the period of production of four great artistic directors: Gio Ponti, Pietro Chiesa, Max Ingrand and Gae Aulenti, from 1932 to 1996. Through 85 exceptional pieces, the exhibition will focus on the poetic possibilities of sheet glass, an industrial material worked by many designers and artists who have collaborated with the Milanese company throughout its history. The exhibition, which will develop an itinerary in which each room will focus on a specific insight into each of the designers, will culminate in a suite furnished in the FontanaArte style to evoke a Milanese flat.

PHOTOGRAPHY The exhibition season at the Casa dei Tre Oci, the building that takes its name from its three large windows overlooking the Giudecca Canal, reopens in grand style. This is the largest retrospective ever held, and the first in Italy, dedicated to the French-Swiss photographer Sabine Weiss, who died at the age of 97 at the end of 2021. Weiss was one of the most important representatives of French humanist photography, together with Doisneau, Ronis, Boubat, Brassaï and Izis. She was the only female photographer of the post-war period to have worked in this profession for so long and in all fields of photography – from reportage to portraits of artists, from fashion to street shots with a particular focus on children’s faces. The exhibition is the first and most important tribute to her career, with over 200 shots including some previously unpublished ones.

WELCOME | WHAT TO DO PROCURATIE VECCHIE
A NEW MONUMENT TO CONTEMPLATION
INSTALLATION After a five-year restoration by David Chipperfield Architects Milan, iconic building of the Procuratie Vecchie in St Mark’s Square opens up to the city once again, enriched by Edoardo Tresoldi’s “Monumento” installation. It is a column made of wire mesh, wood, fragmented glass, stone and iron, over 15 metres high and with a diameter of 1.20 metres, positioned in the space around which the Procuratie Vecchie staircase develops. Its proportions dialogue with those of the space and the visitor is invited to take a close-up view that subverts the traditional rhetoric of the monument: by climbing the staircase the visitor can see the column in its entirety, from the base to the end. The Procuratie Vecchie are open to the public from Wednesday to Monday (10am to 7pm, last entrance at 6pm).

MARIA CALLAS ON SHOW AT LA FENICE
EXHIBITION Located on the third floor of the Teatro La Fenice opera house, a permanent photographic exhibition is dedicated to the divine opera star Maria Callas and includes pictures that portray her over seven Venetian seasons. Archive photos, manuscripts and images serve as an important testimony to the artistic career of one of opera’s most legendary performers, highlighting her close relationship with both the city and its theatre, because it was here that she made her first Italian debut which marked the turning point in her career. In this photo, Maria Callas waving from a dressing room at La Fenice.

WELCOME | WHAT TO DO WORK IN PROGRESS AT THE GALLERIE DELL’ACCADEMIA
COLLECTION The world’s largest collection of Veneto art has reopened in recent months, making visitors return to the corridor designed by Andrea Palladio (after two years of restoration): an absolute premiere while waiting for the new exhibition layout. The rearrangement work will gradually lead to the opening of new sections, such as the room dedicated to the ceiling reconstruction in Palazzo Corner Spinelli, painted by Giorgio Vasari, the opening of a room dedicated to the Bassano canvases, and the setting up of a new room for the exhibition of graphic masterpieces from the Cabinet of Drawings, one of the richest collections in Italy, with no less than 20 drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. The Gallerie dell’Accademia will host British Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor with a major exhibition at the museum. The exhibition, postponed from 2021 because of the pandemic, has been presented during the Venice International Art Biennale in 2022 and will run until 9 October 2022.

SHOPPING
The emotion of a jewel Salvadori established its first store in the magical city of Venice in 1857. At that time, it only carried watches, period bedside and travel alarm clocks, grandfather clocks and wall clocks. However, it was only thanks to Gabriele Pendini, the company’s longtime president who had a passion for gemstones, that Salvadori became a tangible expression of high-class, sought-after jewelry. Today, Salvadori Diamond Atelier interprets every desire with style and experience, offering women emotions that go straight to the heart. Don’t miss the Sospiri collection, inspired by the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, a symbol of love and romance. The collection was designed and created by designer Marzia Pendini, who was inspired by the history of the bridge and fascinated by the structure of the small windows with its unique geometries.

SHOPPING STROLLING THROUGH BURANO In addition to Murano and Torcello, this island on the Venetian Lagoon should not be missed. Loved (and widely photographed) by tourists, it is famous for its colourful houses, butter biscuits and above all, its handcrafted lace.
Glam
With a population of only three thousand inhabitants, the island’s row of houses, whose facades boast all the colours of the rainbow, are truly spectacular and make it one of the most picturesque places on earth! However, the origin of this tradition of painting the houses in bright colours was not only for aesthetic reasons. Legend has it that its fishermen, often confused by frequent banks of fog, devised a chromatic code that would help them identify their own landing piers more easily. Each colour corresponded to a family, to their house and to their address. BURANO LACE. The island is also the capital of handmade lace, a craft kept alive for centuries by the wives of fishermen waiting for their husbands to return from sea. The work is extremely exacting, with each woman specializing in a single stitch. Since there are seven stitches in total, each piece is passed from 60

woman to woman to finish. Groups of women work diligently for days to produce items, whether large or small, of matchless beauty: trims for dresses, accessories, tablecloths, gloves, umbrellas and masks, all made from this delicate, white lace, crafted with a painstaking attention to detail that has lasted for centuries. While on the island, make sure to visit the Museum of Lace-Making to understand why something so exquisite should not become extinct (Piazza Galuppi, 187). GASTRONOMIC TRADITION. Butter biscuits known as Buranelli (either ring or S-shaped) are famous on the island and you'll be offered them wherever you go. However, this is not the only specialty that you’ll find. The island has a longstanding gastronomic tradition linked, above all, to fresh fish.
HOW TO REACH BURANO Vaporetto line number 12 runs from the Venice-Fondamente Nove stop to Burano (1 hour). If you’re not in a hurry, the Venetians recommend taking line 14 from San Zaccaria (the Pietà stop), which stops at the Lido. It’s a good opportunity to take a look at the venue where the Film Festival is held, and admire the works by MOSE, the huge hydraulic engineering project completed to protect the Lagoon.

SHOPPING ARTISTIC GLASS IN MURANO
PH © PAWEL HORAZY/SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
Venice and glass: a strong, enduring partnership that has lasted for centuries. And it’s natural to mention glass when talking about Venice.
The art of solidifying silicon to obtain a hard yet delicate transparent material, suitable for countless purposes, is rooted in the ancient past. According to historians, glass was first made in Mesopotamia in the III millennium B.C. However, several archaeological digs suggest that glassmaking was already practiced in Venice in the 7th century B.C. Furthermore, after the year 1000 A.D., its production had become so important that it was protected by specific laws. There was only one small problem - the presence of glass furnaces in medieval Venice, which was largely built of timber, presented a grave fire hazard. As a result, in 1291, for safety reasons, the Great Council ordered the glass workers to transfer to the Island of Murano, where they created a district that still exists. It was here that in the 13th century eyeglasses were invented, and here, in 1369 that mirrors began to be produced. It was also here, in 1450, that Angelo Barovier invented crystal. Throughout the Renaissance, glass was

a rare commodity. It was only in 1827 that glass began to MURANO be produced on an industrial level. At that point, VENEZIA blown glass or glass produced by lampworking became a highly prized material used for LIDO aesthetic purposes, and achieved the height of its splendor during the Art Nouveau period. Artists including Lalique, Dammouse or Tiffany sought out the glass blowers of Murano to produce their coveted objects. During the mid-twentieth century, real masters of the art including Signoretto, Ballarin, Zanetti and Vidal began to emerge in Murano. Their works are highly coveted objects, true collectors' items that are often displayed at museums. While strolling through the streets of Murano, you’ll be spoilt for choice. If you want to make a purchase, bear several criteria in mind. Crafting authentic Murano glass is no easy task and isn’t cheap. Large objects require hours of work, so don’t expect to take you custom-made lamp home on the same day. Furthermore, each piece is unique, meaning that small imperfections are an integral part of the value of the object. In short, if you come across a shop selling mass-produced items that promises quick delivery times or tempts you with low prices, beware. Apart from some exceptions, it’s better to do your glass shopping in Murano rather than in the city of Venice. Don’t worry if you want to buy an object but don’t have time to wait: the island’s glass factories are now equipped to make safe deliveries anywhere in the world. Parco San Giuliano

Tips to purchase Murano glass
In order to protect local craftsmanship and guarantee the authenticity of recently purchased products, in 1994 the Region of Veneto has created a trademark to guarantee that products have been made in Murano according to the traditional techniques used by master glassblowers. Management of the registered Vetro Artistico® Murano trademark is entrusted to the Consorzio Promovetro Murano, which boasts a membership of fifty companies, the only ones allowed to mark their products with prestigious label. Depending on the type of working process involved, the adhesive sticker can be either red or blue. It also shows the manufacturer’s identification code on the top. In 2016, a serial number and a data matrix code were added to the sticker. These serve as additional proof that the product purchased is a genuine Murano-made item. www.muranoglass.com – www.promovetro.com

Traditional Masks In Venice masks were so popular that around 1400 the artisans who made them were officially recognized with their own guild. These masks, made from papier-mâché decorated with jewels, fabrics and ribbons, were not only worn at Carnival but also throughout the rest of the year, including the feasts of the Republic and on Ascension and Boxing Day. Here’s a short guide that will allow you to distinguish between ‘tabarri’, ‘morette’ and ‘baute’. The Bauta is worn with a dark cloak known as a ‘tabarro’ and a black tricorn hat which is placed on the head, over the tabarro. It allowed wearers to eat and drink without ever having to remove it, meaning that they were thus able to retain their anonymity. Another mask that was popular in Venice was the Moretta: a black velvet oval mask that was the favourite disguise of women. It was worn with a wide-brimmed hat and embellished with veils. Wearers kept it in place by biting on a small button found on the inside. The fact that it was a ‘mute’ mask helped to conceal the wearer’s identity. On the other hand, the Gnaga, was a mask used by men to dress up as women. The traditional Gnaga outfit includes the clothing worn by working class women and a mask portraying a female cat. It was often worn with a basket under the arm, which usually contained a kitten. Venetian masks are precious artisanal objects, ideal to take home as souvenirs. Numerous ateliers still make them according to ancient traditions. One of the most famous is Ca’ Macana, where you can go to admire them, purchase them, decorate your own or simply watch master artisans deftly creating them on-site (www.camacana.com).

Tax Free Refund Guide According to the Italian law, non-EU resident travellers may be granted VAT relief/refund for goods intended for personal or family use purchased in Italy. This relief is surely an advantage for the foreign travellers: in fact, it allows to save from a minimum of 4% up to a maximum of 22% of the selling price of the goods purchased. Here is a short guide according to the Italian legislation to discover the common system of value added tax exclusively for non-EU resident travellers. 1. VAT (in Italian: IVA) is a value added tax on goods and services, and is part of the European Union’s value added tax system. 2. In some cases, travellers may be granted a VAT refund. This refund does not cover the services supplied by hotels, restaurants, taxis or agencies. 3. You may be eligible for a VAT refund provided that: • you are a non-EU resident; • the goods purchased are intended for personal or

family use only and are carried in your luggage; the overall value of the goods purchased exceeds 154,94 Euro (VAT included); the purchase is certified by an invoice. This invoice should include a description of the goods purchased, your personal information as well as the details of your passport or any other equivalent document; the goods shall leave the EU territory by the third month following the date of issue of the invoice, as proved by the “customs stamp”; from 1 September 2018, tax free invoices in Italy must be electronically transmitted by the national seller to OTELLO information system (Online Tax Refund at Exit: Light Lane Optimization) and their validation is digitally carried out. after the digital “customs stamp” is obtained, OTELLO will send a message to the retailer that all the requirements are met and, as a consequence, the retailer will reimburse the amount due or will settle the tax relief.

SHOPPING
Tax Free Refund Guide • the invoice is returned to the Italian retailer within four months after the purchase was made. If the invoice is stamped by other EU countries, it needs to be brought to the shop retailer by the fourth month following that of the purchase. 4. The goods purchased and the relevant invoice must be shown at the customs exit point when leaving EU territory (if you intend to pack the purchased items into your check-in luggage, you must go to Customs BEFORE checking in). 5. After leaving EU territory, the traveller must return the original invoice, regularly endorsed by the customs office, to the Italian retailer. Said invoice must be returned within four months from the date when the document was issued. 6. The refund can be made directly by the Italian retailer (however, make sure that the shop you’ve chosen displays a “Tax Free Shopping” or “Euro Tax Free” sign in its window).
7. Several Tax-Free companies are able to offer immediate VAT cash refunds when the goods leave either Italian or EU territory (thus exonerating the passenger from having to return the invoice to the retailer). However, this procedure only applies at major international airports or main border crossings. Most major department stores have Tax Free Refund offices. 8. The services provided by Tax-Free companies imply the payment of a small administrative sum which is directly deducted from the amount of VAT refunded to the traveller. 9. In the event of a traveller not receiving a VAT refund within a reasonable period of time, he or she should re-contact the Italian retailer or one of the aforementioned companies. 10. However, please note, VAT cannot be refunded directly by customs offices. Source: www.adm.gov.it/portale/ ee/citizen/

Dining in a contemporary setting The Fiola at Dopolavoro restaurant on the Island of Roses, an exclusive strip of land covering 16 hectares, has a new chef, and a new concept. It is a tranquil, secluded retreat comprising a series of buildings dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. These have been re-imagined in a contemporary key by renowned architect Matteo Thun, and Venetian materials and neutral colours blend harmoniously with the reflections of the lagoon. A unique gourmet destination that’s very different to the usual tourist itineraries. The restaurant’s new chef, Fabio Trabocchi, a native of the Marche region, has returned home after spending twenty years in the USA, bringing a touch of globalization with him. In spite of Fabio’s USA experience, his culinary offerings are a tribute to the Adriatic and to Italy as a whole. The menu features seasonal ingredients sourced from the Rialto Fish Market, but also from the island’s private vegetable garden. Fiola at Dopolavoro c/o JW Marriott Hotel - Isola delle Rose.

OUT OF TOWN
© EQROY/SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
Veneto is one of the most visited regions in Europe and offers several attractive destinations for a fun, relaxing out-of-town experience. The cities are well connected by train but as an alternative you can either hire a car or a car with a driver.
Padua, Scrovegni Chapel
HALF AN HOUR BY TRAIN FROM VENICE Treviso: the city is a small gem, which can be visited entirely on foot. Lying at the heart of the city, Piazza dei Signori is the ideal spot to stop and enjoy either a local Proseccobased aperitivo, or a light lunch. The area’s neighbouring streets are packed with elegant shops, cut across by pretty canals offering lots of fabulous photo opportunities.
Padua: home to one of the oldest universities in the world, Padua is a city deserving an entire day’s sightseeing. Among the list of things to do, top sights include the Scrovegni Chapel, Giotto’s masterpiece, but also the famous Church of Sant’Antonio, a pilgrimage site and the burial place of St Anthony of Padua (1193–1231). The city is also home to the oldest botanical garden in the world, planted in 1545 by Padua’s University medical faculty to study the medicinal properties of rare plants.

INDEX
ITINERARIES Verona and the Adige river
ONE HOUR BY TRAIN FROM VENICE Vicenza: its main square houses the famous basilica designed by Andrea Palladio, the most important architect of the High Renaissance. The entire life of the city revolves around the Basilica. Palladio also designed the city’s renowned Teatro Olimpico. This Renaissance marvel is well worth a visit or, failing that, a ticket to one of the many live shows performed here. Verona: founded by the Romans in the 1st century AD, the city of Verona is dotted with pretty palazzi, elegant squares and medieval gems. Best-known as home to star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, its major attractions include the Arena, an architectural remnant of the Roman era, and a venue for the city’s annual summer opera festival, the beautiful Castelvecchio Museum and piazza delle Erbe. There are so many churches to see that you’ll be spoilt for choice. No visit would be complete without stopping to see San Zeno, a masterpiece of Italian Romanesque style.
INDEX
105
ITINERARIES Bassano del Grappa: this picturesque town lying at the foot of the mountains is renowned for its namesake spirit, grappa. Its Palladian covered wooden bridge over the River Brenta is a highlight of the small historic centre. Also known at the Ponte Vecchio or the Ponte Alpini, it serves as a reminder of the events that took place during World War I. While in the area, make sure to book a guided tour of one of the distilleries that produce grappa, Italy’s ‘acquavite’ of choice. One of the most famous is Poli. Located in via Gamba 6, this renowned distillery also boasts a must-visit Grappa Museum. At the end of the tour, guests will be treated to a tasting session, accompanied by sweet or savoury snacks. Opened in December 2010, and located at number 8 Salita Ferracina, Palazzo delle Misture is the ideal spot for a pre or post-dinner drink. In addition to an excellent selection of local wines, the venue also features an entire room dedicated to absinth, where you can taste historical brands dating from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.

Trieste, Castle of Miramare
TWO HOURS BY TRAIN FROM VENICE Trieste: the port and its architecture, reminiscent of central European cities, blend to create an elegant, captivating backdrop. When visiting Trieste you can remain in the centre and stroll through its picturesque alleys, or head to Miramare, the beautiful castle built in the late 1850s by Archiduke Maximilian, brother of Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph. Sitting on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea, both the castle – whose interior décor has remained intact – and the park are well worth a visit. A ride on the Opicina tram which connects the centre of Trieste with the village of Villa Opicina in the hills above is definitely unmissable. Inaugurated in 1902, the 'tram de Opicina' climbs up five kilometers, including 800 meters on a 26% incline, across splendid landscapes and with wonderful views of the gulf. Trieste is the Mediterranean's main coffee port, and it's also a hub for the coffee industry. In fact, the city is home to Illy, one of the world’s best-known coffee brands. Countless locales bear witness to the city’s history, and, if you head to Piazza Unità d’Italia you can choose your favourite.

n Venice, canals are the only available communication route, bearing in mind that part of the city extends over a handful of beautiful islands that are scattered across the Lagoon. For this reason, the lagoon city can only be crossed on foot or by boat. Calli, campielli and salizade are Venetian words used to identify streets, squares and alleys while sestieri is the local word indicating the six districts the city is divided into: San Marco, Dorsoduro, Cannaregio, Santa Croce, San Polo and Castello. This division dates back to the 12th century and also includes areas such as La Giudecca and the Islands of San Giorgio Maggiore and San Michele.

ESSENTIALS GETTING AROUND VENICE
Because it is a relatively small, compact city (a 45-minute walk from North to South) whose main points of interest are situated just a short distance from each other, visiting Venice on foot is the ideal solution.

Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore
Giudecca
Cannaregio, like Castello, is the largest and most densely populated district of Venice. Its name probably derives from the expanse of reeds found in the swamps on which it was built. Castello takes its name from the castle of which traces still remain today. It extends around the Arsenale and includes the Gardens of the Biennale and the Riva degli Schiavoni. Dorsoduro is named after the compact sand dunes found in this area. It overlooks both the Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal, along which the long promenade known as the Fondamenta delle Zattere stretches. San Marco takes its name from the Basilica. This is the city’s main sestiere because it houses the palaces that once constituted the government of Venice until its fall. San Polo, which takes its name from the church of San Polo, is the geographic centre of Venice. It stretches from the highest part of the Rialto Bridge and is the place where the Rialto fish and vegetable market is held. Santa Croce takes its name from the ancient church of the same name which unfortunately was demolished under Napoleon’s rule. It includes the Stazione Marittima and the piazzale Roma terminal, a junction for train and road transport (buses, cars) and lagoon traffic (ferries, vaporetti or water buses). THE ISLANDS Although the whole of Venice lies on an arcipelago, an ‘excursion to the islands’ generally means a half-day cruise on a boat to visit the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello, three charming, small islands, rich in history and tradition thta gave birth to venetian civilization. The islands can be reached by a private water taxi or by the public vaporetti, purchasing a 24hour ticket which allows for unlimited travel through the day. 112
