EXCLUSIVE GIFT FROM TOP HOTELS
Welcome to Venice! We at Where® Venice would like share some tips with you to ensure that you make the most of your visit while respecting the city and its inhabitants. Venice is a pedestrian city (when you’re not travelling on water). Unfortunately, over the past few years, visitors have often failed to respect its bridges and monuments, either by defiling them with graffiti or attaching love locks to them, a craze that involves couples writing their names on a padlock, swearing eternal love and throwing the keys into the canal. Apart from being illegal, such acts, including sitting on bridges while eating or obstructing people’s passage, are an offence to the city. In St. Mark’s Square, it is now forbidden to sit or recline under the porticos and on the steps along the Procuratie Nuove and the Ala Napoleonica, the buildings that ring the city’s iconic St. Mark’s Square. And don’t even think of stopping alongside the Doge’s Palace to nibble on a panino, a gelato or another snack. Although it may sound ludicrous, you can’t swim in Venice’s canals. Those of you who are in the mood for a swim should head to the Lido, where you can spend a fashionable day at a real beach! Finally, those littering the ‘calli’ or canals with cigarette butts or rubbish are being disrespectful to the beauty of the city itself. Remember to hang on to your litter until you find a bin in which to put it! We are certain that these rules don’t apply to any of our Where® Venice readers who are currently visiting this beautiful city, and the only one that can truly be described as unique. This is simply an invitation to take action by alerting the authorities, should you witness anyone breaking these simple rules of good taste and civil behaviour. Venice deserves to be preserved in all of its original glory!

CANAL GRANDE Although it is known as ‘the most beautiful street in the world’, the Canal Grande is the main waterway of Venice. Lined on both sides by an uninterrupted series of palaces, churches, hotels, and other public buildings, it offers a journey back into history, evoking the pomp and splendor of the ancient Serenissima. SCALA CONTARINI DEL BOVOLO The external ‘bovolo’ (snail-shell) stairwell of Palazzo Contarini - an exquisite, late Gothic building - is enclosed in a cylinder perforated like lace. The architectural beauty of the stairwell, combined with the view that can
be enjoyed on reaching the top, is well worth a visit. TEATRO LA FENICE Twice destroyed by fire and twice restored to its former splendour (the last time was between 1996 and 2003), for centuries La Fenice theatre has been Venice's principal stage for world-class opera, music, theater, and ballet.

PALAZZO DUCALE A masterpiece of Gothic art and a repository of innumerable art treasures, it features a number of different and intricate architectural and ornamental details, dating from the 9th century.

EDITOR'S TIPS
THE GHETTO The Jewish ghetto of Venice, the first ever, was established in 1516. It is located in a secluded sestiere of Cannaregio and is celebrating its 500th anniversary. A walk through ‘calli’, ‘campi’ and ‘campielli’’ allows visitors to soak up a magical, cocoon-like atmosphere that brings to mind Shakespeare’s play the ‘Merchant of Venice’.
PONTE DI RIALTO This is the oldest and most beautiful of the four bridges crossing the Grand Canal. Originally built during medieval times as a pontoon bridge at the canal’s narrowest point to facilitate access to the popular Rialto market, it is still a hub of commerce and is lined on both sides by shops. It includes as many as 120 steps.
THE ISLANDS Although the whole of Venice lies on an archipelago, an ‘excursion to the islands’ generally means a half-day cruise on a boat to visit the islands of Murano, Torcello and Burano, three charming, small islands, rich in history and tradition. Visitors love these islands, and there may be a risk of not finding a seat on the boat.

CULTURE CHANEL is defined as “a collection of exhibitions”, because each individual event is part of the same project. Thanks to the choice of a different theme, each new show (held, each time, in a different city) sheds new light on what forged the designer’s singular style and identity. This weekend is the perfect time to discover the seventh chapter of this showcase. The Venetian exhibition evokes Gabrielle Chanel’s creative world through her relationship with books and literature. From classic Greek authors to modern poets, her abundant library reveals the works that left an impression on her life and shaped the personality of this couturier who was also an avid reader. Dedications, archives, photographs, paintings are drawings are mixed with her creations, revealing an aesthetic vocabulary and an intimate portrait of a designer who knew how to transform her life into a legend.

New life for the “Fontego” Following an in-depth makeover, the ancient Fondaco (Fontego in Venetian dialect), the iconic building once home to a community of German merchants (13th century), is set to become Venice’s most important ‘luxury department store’. BY ELENA BINDA
T
he Fondaco dei Tedeschi has been a part of the history of Venice for as many as eight centuries. First constructed in 1228 and then rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1508, it was converted into a Post Office in 1808, a purpose that it served for almost one century. A mute witness of the Venetian mercantile era, as its name suggests, in medieval times the building was used as a trading post for German merchants who stocked goods arriving from Nuremburg and Augsburg here. Located at the foot of the famous Rialto Bridge, the Fondaco dei Tedeschi is one of Venice’s largest and most recognizable buildings due, among other things to its architecture which sets it apart from most of the other buildings overlooking the Grand Canal. The Fondaco is a building based on a square plan. Crenellated at the top like an old castle, it has four levels facing onto a central courtyard (now covered by a steel and glass structure) housing a medieval well. On the ground floor, five large arches enclose a portico where goods were once unloaded from the Grand Canal while, on the upper floors, a rows of single or double mullioned windows decorate the façade. Over the centuries, several of Venice’s greatest artists, from Giorgione to Titian, worked on embellishing its façade and interiors. Considered a Venetian landmark, it is located in one of the city’s most central and vibrant areas just steps from the Rialto Bridge. Over the centuries, the ‘palazzo’ has been 12 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016

WHERE NOW | FOCUS THE VIEW FROM ABOVE Suspended above the hustle and bustle of the historic city, the Fondaco’s rooftop terrace boasts one of the only places in Venice where the public is able to take in a panoramic view of the city. They can gaze to their heart’s content at the unbeatable sight of campaniles and churches that line the horizon, watch the world go by across the Rialto Bridge and take in the unique glow of the setting sun as it illuminates the city’s distinctive tiled roofs. Indeed, one can see far across the Venetian Lagoon even to the peaks of the nearby Italian Alps.

immortalized in numerous masterpieces of art history including Canaletto’s much loved aerial view of the building, but not only. This Venetian ‘palazzo’ is so iconic that it was even mentioned in an 007 movie. In the 2006 episode of Casino Royale, a ‘palazzo’ (obviously not a real one), located just steps from the Rialto Bridge, closely resembling the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, collapsed in on itself, during an adrenalin-filled scene. Luckily, things went better for the real ‘Fontego’. Not only was it not razed to the ground but, instead, reconceived and redesigned as ‘T Fondaco dei Tedeschi’, the most important Venetian luxury department store. AN IMPRESSIVE RESTORATION When, in 2009, the owners of the property (the famous Benetton Group) decided to restore the Fondaco to convert it into a department store and public space, they commissioned Dutch architecture firm OMAOffice for Metropolitan Architecture (led by Rem Koolhaas), one of the most famous architectural firms in the world, to do the job. OMA’s most successful recently completed projects include the Waterfront City in Dubai, the House of Music in Porto, the Central Library in Seattle, the Marina Abramovic Institute in Hudson (USA) and the famous Fondazione Prada building in Milan. OMA’s renovation scheme was based on a finite number of strategic interventions and vertical distribution devices that support the 14 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016
new program while defining a sequence of public spaces and circulation routes. Each intervention was conceived, as the architect explained, “as an excavation through the existing mass, liberating new perspectives and unveiling the real substance of the building to its visitors, as an accumulation of authenticities liberating new perspectives and unveiling the real substance of the building to its visitors.” Among other things, the project opens the courtyard piazza to pedestrians, while maintaining its historical role as a covered urban ‘campo’ (square). A large wooden terrace, with spectacular views over the city, was added so that the rooftop and courtyard below would become public venues, open to the city and accessible at all times. Two new entrances to the building were created from the Campo San Bartolomeo and the Rialto, while existing entrances into the courtyard, used by locals as a shortcut, have been retained. Not only were crucial historic elements left untouched, but – where the architects had to or wanted to innovate – they did so by resurrecting the historical heart of the place: for example, the walls of the galleries will once again host frescoes that reappear in contemporary form. “We preserved everything that we were able to preserve,” explained the architects. The arches on the ground floor, whose pieces were numbered, removed, brushed and replaced one by one. The marvelous decorated wood ceilings. The staircase in
Istrian stone. The hand-sponged plasterwork. The Venetian Terrazzo floors that cover most of the surface. The old letter box. All past relics have been preserved and donated to the public.” In short, a restoration project that is both ambitious and respectful and one that was greeted with joy by the Venetians who will acquire a landmark department store that will become a shared civic facility. However, the restoration project aims to take things even one step further by transforming the property into another reason to visit Venice. A NEW LUXURY SHOPPING DESTINATION With its 28 million visitors a year, its ranking as the tenth destination in the world in terms of number of visitors, and its ancient mercantile vocation, it seemed almost incredible that Venice did not have a department store dedicated to the purchase of luxury goods. As from 1 October all of this will change thanks to a project that tends to outclass any other ‘rival’ in the world. Extending over a surface area of 7,000 square metres, the T Fondaco dei Tedeschi department store will provide the public with an array of the most coveted Italian and international brands, in the categories of fashion and accessories, watches and jewelry, wines and spirits, and beauty and fragrances, alongside a carefully curated selection of locally handcrafted artisan products and premium food.

DFS (Duty Free Shop) and partly controlled by luxury group LVMH, the department store will not only be used as a public space for events, exhibitions and cultural initiatives but also as a venue designed to promote and preserve authentic Venetian craftsmanship. The ground floor atrium will be home to AMO, an elegant Venetian café/restaurant developed by the world-famous interior designer Philippe Starck in partnership with Italy’s most revered culinary family, Massimiliano (the youngest chef in the world to have received three Michelin stars) and Raffaele Alajmo. The menu will feature simple, modern twists on classic Italian cuisine. With its red escalator, sixty boutiques, 450 windows, two thousand light fittings and an unforgettable panoramic terrace, the Fondaco is set to become a highly sought-after destination. Moreover, in partnership with Premier Tax Free, the department store will also offer an innovative simplified instant tax refund system at the cash desk, the first of its kind in Europe.

The island of 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. By Stefano Traine
Zilli
POCKET BURANO You can also take the houses of Burano home as a souvenir. On the island you can find a number of artisans specializing in the reproduction of brightly coloured, miniature districts. However, the noblest craft of all is the lace-making. The lace made here is truly an example of an ancient art!
16 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016
A little less famous than its twin, Murano - the island of glass, with which it is often confused, due to the similar names (only the first letter changes), lace, in no way inferior to its sibling’s blown glass, has made tiny Burano famous. With a population of only three thousand inhabitants, its colourful houses make it is one of the most picturesque places on earth. THE HOUSES Thank heavens for smartphones! The idea of arriving on Burano and realizing that you’ve forgotten your camera could be a catastrophe. The island’s row of houses, whose facades boast all the colours of the
rainbow, are truly spectacular! 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 (and, truth be told, by the amount of liqueur consumed to keep them warm…), devised a chromatic code that would help them identify their own landing piers more easily after a long day’s fishing. Each colour corresponded to a family, to their house and to their address. BURANO LACE Burano’s brightly-coloured houses are not the only thing worth admiring.
The island is 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 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. For example, though it can take up to five months to make a rectangular tablecloth for 12 people, the island’s lace makers are now equipped to deliver your item of choice to anywhere in the world. (Please note: since an authentic, handcrafted item takes hours of work, you need to be cautious if the price seems too low. The risk that the lace is not handmade and not even Venetian is now a sad reality). While on the island, make sure to visit the Museum of Lace-Making to understand why something so exquisite should not become extinct (Burano, Piazza Baldassarre Galuppi, 187). BISCUITS AND OTHER SWEET TREATS Butter biscuits known as Buranelli (either ring or S-shaped), are famous on the island and you will be offered them wherever you go. However, this is not the only specialty that you’ll find. The island has a long-standing gastronomic tradition linked, above all, to fresh fish. Here is our pick, among the many, of several historic eateries. Da Romano (famed for its ‘risotto di Gò’); Da Ruggero al Gatto Nero (all the pastas and desserts are made in-house, and the fish is so fresh and delicious that even Jamie Oliver has recommended Al Gatto Nero on his television show); and finally Ai Pescatori e Dal Vecio Pipa. Bon Apetit! HOW TO REACH BURANO One Vaporetto line runs from Venice to Burano: the number 12. The journey lasts for approximately one hour after embarking at the Fondamente Nove stop (the Vaporetto runs at 10 minutes past and 20 minutes to the hour). If you’re not in a hurry, the Venetians recommend another alternative: you can take the 14 line 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. w w w.wh e re -ve n i ce. com 17

TAX-FREE SHOPPING
By law, non-EU residents are entitled to reclaim the VAT paid on items purchased and exported from the EU: before finalizing a purchase, they should ask the shop assistant whether they are eligible for a tax refund. UnionPay Service Hotline: 00 800 800 95516 e-mail: europe@unionpayintl.com

DINING
Reservations for most restaurants are strongly advised. In Italy, service is included in the price meaning that although tipping is not compulsory, it is obviously appreciated as a sign of satisfaction. Some menus include the word “coperto”, a small surcharge corresponding to the cost of the service and bread. Although no dress code exists in Italy, semiformal clothing is usually considered de rigueur at restaurants. All restaurants and bars are non-smoking unless a separate smokers’ area is specifically offered. Set meals: prices are per person and usually refer to a 3-course meal (beverages excluded). € = 30 € or less / €€ = 31-50€ / €€€ = 51-100€ / €€€€ = 101-150€ / €€€€€ = 150€ and above. SIGHTSEEING

According to an age-old tradition, the women of Burano honed their skills with a needle and thread through necessity while repairing the nets of their fishermen husbands, fathers and brothers. It was only later, during long winter afternoons, that they began to develop the craft of lacemaking, creating tablecloths, bedspreads and bridal veils, gradually refining the technique of stitches “made in the air” with no background support, a characteristic that continues to define the lacework of Burano today. This traditional art which, most likely, dates back to the Middle Ages, reached a turning point with the invention of printing when hundreds of patterns of lace designs that could be copied were published. Throughout the Renaissance, the production of lace became an
important economic resource for the island of Burano. During the sixteenth century, the forward-thinking Doge’s wife Morosini (a sort of First Lady of Venice) gave new impetus to lace-making so that lace could be found in the trousseaus of all the noble families of that period. Burano still boasts dozens of shops where you can find exquisite, lace-trimmed items in cotton, linen or silk. Although the predominant colour is white, they can also often be found in gold or silver. Bear in mind that similar to glass-blown objects, lace-making is a difficult and time-consuming job. Please note: since an authentic, handcrafted item takes hours of work, you need to be cautious if the price seems too low. For example, an authentic tablecloth could cost several thousand euros.

Artistic glass in Murano

CLOTHING MEN & WOMEN Al Duca d'Aosta
The art of making glass by solidifying silica to obtain a transparent material that is at once hard yet delicate, dates back to a distant past (the history of glassmaking can be traced back to 3500 B.C. in Mesopotamia). Several archeological excavations testify to the fact that glassmaking had already become an integral part of life in the Venetian lagoon in the 7th century B.C. Furthermore, in the year 1000 A.D., its production had become so important that it was protected by specific laws. There was one small setback to glassmaking: the furnaces used to create the molten glass were a constant fire hazard in the narrow streets of Venice. As a consequence, by law, all the glass workshops were moved to Murano where they are still located today. It was here that eyeglasses were invented in the 13th century and here that, in 1369, mirrors began to be produced. It was also here that, in 1450, Angelo Barovier invented crystal. Glass was a rare commodity throughout the Renaissance: it was only in 1827 that production on an industrial level began. At that point, blown glass or glass produced by lampworking became a highly prized material used for artistic purposes, achieving its height of splendour during the Art Nouveau period. Artists including Lalique, Dammouse and Tiffany sought out the glassblowers of Murano to produce their famous works. As a result of this experience, during the mid-20th century, real masters of the art began to emerge in Murano including
24 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016
big-names of the likes of Signoretto, Ballarin, Zanetti and Vidal. Their works are highly coveted objects, true collectors' items which are often displayed at museums. Murano has numerous glass factories, several of which boast an age-old history (Barovier&Toso, the sixth oldest family-run company in the world, is still operative today) or a list of particularly prestigious collaborations (Venini, which has become an internationally renowned brand, has collaborated with designers of the likes of Giò Ponti, Mimmo Rotella, Gaetano Pesce, Gae Aulenti, Ettore Sottsass, Matteo Thun, Fabio Novembre or Flo Perkins). While strolling through the streets of Murano, you will be spoilt for choice. If you want to make a purchase, you need to bear several criteria in mind. Crafting authentic Murano glass is no easy task and does not come cheap. Large objects require hours of work, so don’t expect to take your 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. Ask your concierge.

Pomellato Rialto Market A trip to Venice is not complete without a visit to the Rialto Market, possibly one of the city’s most authentic and traditional experiences. This is one of Venice’s most ancient markets, a one-of-a-kind place crowded with Venetians, shopkeepers and tourists eager to shop. It is located near the Rialto Bridge, on the San Polo side, extending across the Canal Grande, between Campo San Giacomo and Campo della Pescaria. Campo San Giacomo is a beautiful square surrounded by a portico called Sottoportego del Bancogiro, an ancient bank where merchants would gather to negotiate. If you’d like to try the famous 'cicchetti', accompanied by a glass of wine or a spritz, a number of 'bacari', Venice’s traditional ‘osterie’, can also be found in the area. Several of these bars face
onto the opposite side of the building, on a magnificent plaza crowded with tables, and from here, if you walk along the river, you’ll reach a large food market, and finally, the Pescaria, the famous Fish Market. From early morning, on any day of the week (except Sunday) this vibrant place is frequented by Venetian locals, who regularly shop here, browsing its colourful stalls that are located under a loggia near the Grand Canal. Inscriptions about fish-related regulatory measures, proclaimed by the Republic of Venice, can still be found on the walls! >> Fish Market: Open Tues-Sat 7.30amnoon. Food Market: Mon-Sat 7.30am1.30pm. San Polo 330-338 (Campo della Pescaria). Vaporetto line 1 (Rialto Mercato) or traghetto from Campo Santa Sofia (€2).
... and more There is no lack of specialty shops in the Rialto area. We recommend three of them; authentic, unmissable gems. The first can be found at the foot of the Rialto Bridge: Piedàterre (San Polo 60) is a real boutique selling Venetian 'furlane', exquisite, handcrafted slippers crafted using age-old techniques. Next, in Calle Do Mori, you’ll find Venice’s most ancient ‘bacaro’ (built in 1462): Osteria Do Mori (San Polo 429), one of Casanova’s favourite haunts. Finally, by heading towards Campo San Silvestro, in Rio Terrà di San Silvestro, you will find Gems of Venice (San Polo 1044), a jewelry store and workshop where precious stones are cut and transformed into wearable works of art.

Do Forni, authentic flavours and real Venetian hospitality Eligio Paties, owner of the historic Do Forni restaurant, talks to us about Venice’s authentic culinary tradition, for a real gourmet experience. By Stefania Vida
A
favourite haunt of the international jet-set (including crowned heads) since its inception, Do Forni epitomizes the time-honoured history of Venice, explains owner Eligio Paties: “During the golden years of the Venetian Republic, there was a furnace on this site (hence the name of the restaurant), which produced bread and confectionary for the nearby convent of San Zaccaria, but was also a small, typically Venetian osteria.” Since 1973, the venue has been run by Eligio Paties, whose inherent passion for food and genuine appreciation of hospitality has made it a sought-after destination for those visitors to Venice, who wish to experience the noblest traditions of hospitality. “The distinctive feature of the restaurant is undoubtedly its décor. Its typically Venetianstyle rooms offer a traditional, elegant setting, while its remaining dining spaces have been 32 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016
designed to reproduce the dining car of the unforgettable Orient Express.” When dining in Venice the word ‘haste’ is forbidden. So, relax and indulge in a special evening enhanced by delectable food and a welcoming atmosphere. Its superb seasonal menu features typical Venetian specialties, where standouts include the ‘antipasti’ (crab and scallops) and ‘primi’ (don’t miss the risotto dishes and soups). Eligio Paties is also the owner of the Antico Pignolo, a restaurant located just a short distance from Do Forni. The origins of this venue date back to ancient times “probably a few centuries ago when, after being used as a depot for marble for St. Mark’s Basilica, it was rented by an innkeeper.” Here too, typical Venetian cuisine takes centre stage, and fish and meat are highlights of the menu, and will seduce the palates
of even the most discerning diners! (Calle Specchieri 451, T: 041 5228123, www.anticopignolo.com). >> Do Forni San Marco, 468 (Calle dei Specchieri) T: 041 5232148 www.doforni.it

T
he Basilica of San Marco, with its bell tower and square overlooking the water, is one of Italy’s and the world’s most recognizable (and photographed) landmarks. In addition to being the city’s most important church, the Basilica is a monument to the history of Venice, a grand treasure chest of Venetian art and lavish spoils garnered from the eastern Mediterranean. Its dazzling polychrome façade with its marbles and mosaics, spires and domes, and Venice’s famous winged lion, the symbol of the city for centuries, is revealed in all of its glory. The interior, featuring an abundance of exquisitely gilded Byzantine mosaics, is definitely worth a visit. A visit to its Museum and treasury, located on the upper floor, is a not-to-be-missed highlight. While in the area, 42 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016

Basilica del Redentore Based on a project by the famous architect Andrea Palladio, the Basilica was built in 1577 on the island of Giudecca. It contains works by Tintoretto, Veronese and other important Venetian artists. It was built to celebrate the deliverance from the Black Death, which killed one third of the population.

Chiesa and Scuola Grande di San Rocco
This is the most important Catholic church in the city, and one of the most important monuments in Italy.

The original medieval bell tower was modified several times, and rebuilt entirely when it unexpectedly collapsed in 1902.

For centuries, the Canal has witnessed lavish parties and workshop events, religious processions, capital executions, historical regattas and epidemics. Those visiting Venice should dedicate a few hours to a cruise on the Canal, not only for the pleasure of this experience, but because it offers several of the best panoramic views of Venetian palaces.

Ghetto di Venezia Although documentation chronicles the presence of a Jewish community in Venice from before the year 1000, it was only during the 6th century, due to political unrest in Europe and a significant increase in non-Christian immigrants that, for the first time, the Venetian Senate, issued a decree stating that the Jewish population should move to a specific part of the city, where they could be better ‘controlled’. Thus Jews were forced to move to this, then, remote northwestern corner of Venice, to an abandoned site of a 14thcentury foundry (‘ghetto’ is old Venetian dialect for "foundry," a word that would soon be used throughout Europe and the world to depict an area where isolated minority groups lived. The Venetian Ghetto nevertheless became a thriving, vibrant district. In 1797, when Napoleon rolled into town, the ghetto was disbanded as an institution, and Jews were free to move elsewhere. Today it is still the center of Venice's ever-diminishing community of Jewish families. Vaporetto lines 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 (Ponte Guglie stop). Map D2

Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs) The Bridge of Sighs is a Baroque bridge that, by crossing the Rio di Palazzo, once connected the Palazzo Ducale to the prisons, and today it is one of Venice’s most romantic sights.

Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) This is the oldest and most beautiful of the four bridges crossing the Grand Canal. Witness to centuries of history, it is exciting to cross it (shutterbugs permitting), but even more spectacular when seen from the water, perhaps aboard a gondola. Originally built during medieval times as a pontoon bridge at the canal’s narrowest point to facilitate access to the popular Rialto Market, it is still a hub of commerce and is lined on both sides by shops. Unfortunately, it is not accessible to everyone; between upward and downward slopes, it includes as many as 120 steps. San Polo, 30125

Scala Contarini del Bovolo Palazzo Contarini is an exquisite, late Gothic building.

The islands Although the whole of Venice lies on an archipelago, an ‘excursion to the islands’ generally means a half-day cruise on a boat to visit the islands of Murano, Torcello and Burano, three charming, small islands, rich in history and tradition. Murano is famous throughout the world for its hand-blown glass (artisanal workshops still display glassmakers at work). Torcello, birthplace of the lagoon, once a thriving town with 8,000 inhabitants, is today a semirural island with only 17 permanent residents and two medieval churches that speak poignantly of past glories, and Burano, one of the most photographed sights in the world, thanks to colourful houses reflected in its canals. Burano is also famous for its artisanal lace work and a particular kind of biscuit, which also resembles lace. Find out more and buy tickets for your trip to these magical destinations. Visitors love these islands, and there may be a risk of not finding a seat on the boat.

The phenomenon of 'acqua alta'
Acqua alta (High Water) is a Venetian phenomenon that involves the entire city when either the planetary tides – the Scirocco wind and wave motion in the Adriatic, or a combination of all these elements – cause an increased flow of water into Venice’s lagoon. When this happens, the city is flooded. While causing tourists serious inconvenience, the ‘acqua alta’ is not at all like the experience described in the horror stories that do the rounds each winter. For a city built on water, it’s a way of life and even a one-of-a-kind experience. If you happen to be in Venice on an ‘acqua alta’ day (on average, it occurs once every three years) invest in a pair of wellies, arm yourself with a camera and explore the city to your heart’s content.

Scuola di San Rocco
Among Venice’s countless art treasures, buildings known as ‘Scuole’ or ‘Scuole Grandi’ might be mentioned as unmissable attractions. It goes without saying that these are not schools in the accepted sense of the word, but one of the innumerable distinctive features of this unique city. During the ancient Republic of Venice, from the 13th century onwards, the word ‘Scuola’ was, in fact, used to describe a brotherhood, or rather an association of lay members who met to provide assistance to poor people, widows, orphans, old and sick people. The ‘Scuole’ were divided into Devotional Schools (or Scuole Grandi) which gathered for religious purposes in the name of a patron saint, Schools of Arts and Crafts and Schools of Foreign Communities (Scuole Piccole or Scuolette). Until the fall of the Republic, they represented a real kind of welfare system, initially destined for members but later extended to the entire population. The ‘Scuole Grandi’ had countless means at their disposal, a part of which they invested to embellish their own headquarters with paintings by well-known artists including Tintoretto, Jacopo Palma il Giovane or Giambattista Tiepolo. As time passed, the most important Schools built palaces for their residents designed by famous architects, and adorned them with
paintings by the best artists of the era. After the fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797, the Schools were suppressed by a Napoleonic edict (1807) and within the space of a short time their assets ended up at antique markets and collections throughout the world. Several of the best preserved Schools were reconstituted and transformed into museums that can now be visited by the public. These include the Great Schools of San Giovanni Evangelista (www. scuolasangiovanni.it), the Scuola di San Rocco (www.scuolagrandesanrocco. it) and the Scuola dei Carmini (www. scuolagrandecarmini.it). Others, including the Scuole Grandi di San Teodoro (www. scuolagrandesanteodoro.it), the Scuola di San Marco (the seat of the city’s hospital), www.scuolagrandesanmarco.it), and the Scuola di Santa Maria Giustizia or San Fantin, currently home to Venice’s Faculty of Science, Literature and Arts (www. ateneoveneto.org), were converted into public exhibition spaces and institutions. The Scuola Dalmata di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni and the Scuola di San Nicolò dei Greci (currently Venice’s Museum of Icons), are ‘small’ schools whose artistic treasures are well worth a visit. Lastly, an interesting fact: the facade of the Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Carità, suppressed in 1806, is now the entrance to the magnificent Accademia Galleries.

Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro
Located on the left-hand side of the Grand Canal, just beyond the Church of the Madonna della Salute, you will come across a building that seems strange and unfinished, but is also elegant and well-tended. The Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, formerly home to the prominent and powerful Venier family, was originally planned to become one of the most sumptuous buildings in Venice. Construction of the palazzo began in or around 1748, but was halted after only one floor was completed. Undeterred by its rather sketchy shape, and upon seeing the palazzo with its beautiful garden, eccentric American heiress Peggy Guggenheim, a lover of modern art, la dolce vita and men, fell in love with it. She purchased Palazzo Venier in 1948, and moved in with her collection of
THE HEIRESS AND HER LOVE FOR ART The niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim, Peggy was born in New York in 1898 into a wealthy Jewish family. Following the death of her father on the Titanic in 1912, Peggy Guggenheim inherited a small fortune, becoming one of the richest women in America. She lived between Paris and London. She became a patron of the arts and a collector of contemporary art. Peggy was always surrounded by artists and lovers: she married the writer and Dadaist painter Laurence Vail and then Surrealist artist Max Ernst. After opening an art gallery in London and another in New York, in 1948 Peggy was invited to exhibit her collection of paintings at the Biennale of Venice. She fell in love with the city where she spent the rest of her life.

contemporary art, subsequently opening both the palazzo and her extraordinary collection of artworks to the public. In 1980, after her death, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection was bequeathed to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which also manages the Solomon R. Guggenheim in New York and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. In 1985, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni was officially converted into a museum. Today, thanks to its 20th century collection of art, it is considered one of the most important museums in Europe. The collection includes masterpieces of Cubism, Futurism, European Abstractism, American Abstract Surrealism and Expressionism, as well as works by illustrious artists like Picasso, Pollock, Kandinsky, Miró, de Chirico and Dalí.

ot everyone knows that 2016 marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, and what better way to commemorate this than by staging performances of his plays in some of the locations in which they were set? “Shakespeare in Veneto” is an event (in English) involving the entire region of Veneto and the cities where the poet chose to set several of his most important works including ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘Othello’, ‘The Merchant of Venice’, the ‘Taming of the Shrew’ and ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’. Located in the heart of Venice, overlooking the Grand Canal, the opulent rooms of Venice’s Ca’ Sagredo hotel have been chosen to stage Othello, a domestic tragedy featuring timeless themes; love, hate, jealousy, intrigue, revenge, suspicion, judgment and reason. Different scenes of the play will be staged in different areas of the hotel. The opening scene will take place in the

The Goldoni Theater is the oldest theater in Venice and the fourth most ancient in the city. Built by the Vendramin family in 1622, it was originally named after them. Its high point came in 1752, when it engaged Carlo Goldoni, the city’s most important dramatist at that time. It was renovated several times, first in 1818 and subsequently in 1933 and in 1979.

The only Baroque residence in Vicenza, the ‘palazzo’, with its opulent decorations, is per se an attraction worth visiting. The pieces displayed, including a collection of ancient pottery, 34 important paintings from the Venetian School and 140 precious examples of Russian icons from the Medieval age to the present time, offer visitors an insightful view into the past. The museum was established to host and introduce the public to the art collection owned by the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, one of Italy’s foremost credit institutes. They are a part of the Gallerie d’Italia circuit whose members include Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano in Naples and Le Gallerie di Piazza Scala in Milan. Giovanni Bellini masterpiece – From 6 October to 11 December, to mark the 500th anniversary of the artist’s death, Gallerie d’Italia will exhibit a masterpiece by Renaissance genius. The work, entitled The Transfiguration of Christ, an exceptional loan from the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, is closely associated with Vicenza on account of originally having been painted for the Fioccardo Chapel of Vicenza’s Duomo. w w w.wh e re -ve n i ce. com 51

Verona and the Adige river
Although the Arena attracts music lovers/ aficionados from all over the world, the haunts of Romeo and Juliet are no less popular. You are likely to stumble upon Juliet’s house (in via Cappello 23) with its beautiful Gothic portal and famous balcony (an interesting fact: you can now get married on the balcony
where Romeo promised his undying love for Juliet), while strolling through the streets of the ancient city, amidst squares, porticoes, aristocratic palazzi, medieval towers, churches and courts.

Above all, Verona is known as the city of love. It is the famous setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, but it is also a vibrant town, boasting an intense cultural life, which is further heightened in summer by a one-ofa-kind stage, its ancient Arena (the second largest amphitheatre after Rome’s Colosseum, dating back to the 1st century B.C.). The venue hosts a rich calendar of events including opera, Aida is not to be missed, – classical, rock and pop concerts, as well as ballet featuring some of the world’s most famous stars. 52 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016

VILLAS OF BRENTA The magnificent Brenta Riviera, crossed by the Brenta River and its canals, occupies most of the stretch of land that runs from Padua to Venice. Over the centuries, sumptuous villas, set in lush, beautifully tended gardens, were built on the banks of different waterways. There are approximately thirty villas, and the best way to admire them is from the water, embarking either in Padua or Venice for a pleasant day cruise, perhaps on board a ‘burchiello’, a reproduction of the ancient 18th century craft used by Venetian noblemen. Among the gems that embellish the shores, the monumental Villa Pisani in Stra, is a must see. Located approximately thirty kilometers from Venice (see photo), it is probably the most famous of all Venetian villas. Built in 1721 and set within one of the most beautiful parks in Italy (renowned for its famous maze of love), its interiors are enhanced by numerous works of art, including the magnificent ceiling frescoed by Tiepolo. The villa, built in honour of the 114th Doge of Venice, Alvise Pisani, originally had 114 rooms and has hosted half of Europe’s ‘aristocracy’, who holidayed in the area, as well as numerous heads of state, including Napoleon, Mussolini and Hitler (their first meeting was held here in 1934). Palladio also left his mark on Brenta: near Mira, you will find the 16th century Villa Foscari also known as la Malcontenta.

OUT OF TOWN | VENETO This nickname, according to legend, derives from the story of a noblewoman, Elisabetta Dolfin, who was locked up here after allegedly being unfaithful to her husband. It was designed by the famous Renaissance architect, and is currently a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its linear, classical façade conceals frescoed rooms and luxurious interiors that are further enhanced in the evening by flickering candlelight. At the request of its owners, the villa is still without electricity. Villa Widman, a spectacular 18th century complex, is also found in the vicinity of Mira. In addition to the rococo-style manor house, it has a boathouse, a small chapel, a courtyard, a greenhouse and a large garden enhanced by a lake. While in Mira, make sure to visit the 16th century Villa Contarini dei Leoni, famous for having hosted the famous ‘King’s dinner’, organized by Federico, the owner of the time, for the future king of France, at which 22 courses were served. The two marble lions from which the villa takes its name were actually an 18th century addition. The eyes of the original lions were set with precious stones, which sadly were stolen by Napoleon in 1807. The last noteworthy aristocratic dwelling is Villa Sagredo in Vignovo. It was built on the remains of a medieval castle and is still inhabited, some say, by the ghost of Giovanni Sagredo, a disciple and friend of Galileo Galilei, who lived there during the 17th century, and who was buried in the adjoining oratory.

CHIOGGIA Also known as ‘little Venice’, thanks to its scenic canals, which are the focus of its urban layout, Chioggia is perched on the Southern tip of Venice’s Lagoon. With its colourful houses, set closely together and intermittently interspersed with majestic churches and austere, aristocratic palazzi, Chioggia has maintained all the distinctive features of a fishing village. The most ancient part, a maze consisting of labyrinthine alleys and canals spread across a handful of islets resembles a docked ship, and is only connected to the mainland by a few streets, one of which leads to the long beach of Sottomarina, a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing break.

Just outside the historic centre, three villas designed by Palladio are also worth visiting: the Rotonda, Villa Gazzotti Grimani and Villa Trissino. DISTANCE FROM VENICE: 75 km

Not only the birthplace of Saint Anthony, to whom a large basilica is dedicated, but also the town housing Giotto’s magnificent frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel. No trip to Padua is complete without taking a break at one of its historic cafés (the Pedrocchi is the most famous), either drinking a cup of coffee, or sipping a 'Spritz' cocktail.

Discover the wine region of Friuli
In an area boasting a heritage of unmistakable flavours, history and tradition, the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia is renowned throughout the world for its vineyards. In terms of terroir, the most important influence on its vineyards is its position between the Alps and the Adriatic. The Colmello di Grotta estate is a perfect example of this eclectic mix, and a must-visit destination for those who want to learn more about Italy’s winemaking culture. It was restored in 1965, following the Bennati family’s decision to renovate an old, abandoned hamlet to its former splendour. Its 21 hectares of vineyards are at an altitude of between 40 and 80 meters above sea level, and all face south. The vines are divided equally between the DOC Collio and Isonzo appellations, which are planted at a short distances one from each other, but are placed in completely different soil types resulting in the fascinating, feminine Isonzo wines and the powerful, masculine ones from Collio.

Euganei Hills
A unique blend of nature, art and wellness Set against the green hills of the Euganei Hills and located approximately 60 kilometres from Venice, the magnificent Villa Barbarigo, one of the most beautiful Veneto Villas in the area, is worth taking a trip out of town.
At Villa Barbarigo, in the province of Padua, you can admire the authentic Italian Baroque Garden of Valsanzibio. Over the years, it has gained international recognition. In addition being published in leading art and botany books, it was named the most beautiful garden in Italy in 2003 and one of the most beautiful in Europe in 2007. In 2004, it was used as the setting for the Merchant of Venice, a romantic film starring Al Pacino. In 2013, ‘QVC’, an American television network, chose it for a program that was aired live and, in 2016 ‘Arte’, the European Culture Channel, dedicated an installment of the program ‘Jardins d’ici et d’ailleurs’ to it, selecting it from among twenty of Europe’s most important historical gardens. Each year, the garden is a highly sought-after destination for international tourists.
THE MAJESTIC PARK, THE STAR OF THE SHOW The villa, which was used as a residence prior to the design of its monumental garden, complements the majestic park. In fact, it is the only Veneto Villa whose park is the main feature. The garden was built during the second half of the 17th century by Venetian nobleman Zuane Francesco Barbarigo, with the help of his sons, Antonio and Gregorio.

It was the latter – a cardinal, the Archbishop of Padua and a future saint – who inspired the religious symbolism of the project designed by leading Vatican architect and fountain expert Luigi Bernini, brother of the famous sculptor Gianlorenzo. Cardinal Barbarigo wanted the garden of Valsanzibio to symbolize the path of perfection that leads man from Error to Truth, from Ignorance to Revelation. The Pavilion or Portal of Diana was not the only main access route via water to the Barbarigo estate in the 12th and 13th centuries. This superb, imposing gateway represented the beginning of the Road to Salvation, ending in the open space that houses the Fountain of the Mushroom, also known as the Fountain of Ecstasy.
A SYMBOLIC ITINERARY This magnificent Baroque garden has 70 statues, mostly by Marengo, sculpted in Istrian stone. There are also other minor sculptures that blend harmoniously with the architecture, streams, waterfalls, fountains, water features and fish pools that are scattered amidst numerous trees and shrubs, spread over more than 10 hectares of land. Additionally, within the complex itself, important highlights along the Road to Salvation include the Bosso maze, the symbolic Cave of the Hermit, Rabbit Island and the Monument to Time.

visitors could access the Portal of Diana – socalled because of the goddess of hunting who stands atop it – via water from Venice. Today, Battaglia can still be reached by boat. In those days, however, initiates had to cross the Valley of Sant’Eusebio, now known as Valsanzibio (from which the garden takes its name) to reach the landing stage in front of the garden.
AN AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL GARDEN Built between 1665 and 1696, the garden of Valsanzibio is an extraordinary example of a symbolic garden. This magnificent garden boasts a number of fully operative water features and is currently one of the largest, best-kept Baroque gardens in the world. Credit for the preservation of this beautifully tended
garden is owed to the loving care bestowed upon it by the ‘Barbarigo Noblemen’ during the 17th and 18th centuries, the noble Michiel family and the Counts of Martinengo during the 19th century and the Counts of Donà delle Rose during the early 20th century. The villa and it gardens have been the property of the Counts of Pizzoni-Ardemani since 1929. Owners of the estate for three generations, the PizzoniArdemani family not only repaired the damage caused by military occupation and the forced abandonment of the villa during World War II, but also recently renovated all of the garden’s 33 water features, damaged by eighty years of gradual ground-water depletion. www.valsanzibiogiardino.it info@valsanzibiogiardino.it
The mud used by the spas of the hotels in Abano and Montegrotto Terme, affiliated with the AQUAEHOTELS Consortium, is identified by the ‘Fango Eutrofico Eudermico Euganeo ( “F.E.E.E.”) trademark and is quality certified. The production process – which guarantees specific characteristic and scientifically proven therapeutic properties – makes it unique worldwide. The salt-bromine-iodine hyper-thermal water which gushes from the depths of the sub-soil in Abano and Montegrotto Terme at a temperature of 80°C, is contained in special vats known as ‘fangaie’. When this water comes into contact with the natural clay enriched with micro-algae spores, a process involving the production of powerful biological active principles comes into play, serving not only as a cure for muscle and back problems but also as a therapy to combat skin-ageing.

WATER FIRST AND FOREMOST ! For the first time, in the exclusive “Venetian Thermal Water” line, thermal spring water is combined with two anti-ageing properties: hyaluronic acid which helps to restore skin elasticity, and natural antioxidants, including Goji and Cassia Alato Leaf extracts, which protect the skin from the effects of ageing. This line is a result of the combination of thermal water drawn from four springs in the Veneto region, mixed to obtain different concentrations based on their specific salinity: water from the Primavera Source of the Palatini-based ‘Terme di Salzano’ (in which bicarbonate, calcium and magnesium are dissolved); the waters of ‘Terme di Bibione’ (originating from deep underground springs); the low mineral content water from the ‘Terme dei Colli Asolani’ in Crespano (home to the spring named for Empress Sissi ); and finally, the water of the ‘Terme Euganee’ (which flows through the municipalities of Abano, Montegrotto, Battaglia, Teolo and Galzignano at a temperature of 87°C). ‘Venetian Thermal Water’ can be purchased online at www.aquaehotels.it or from the best hotels and sales points in the area.

Venice, the Floating City Some information and invaluable tips to experience the best that this magical city on water has to offer. By Simona P. K. Daviddi
I
talians (at least many of them), may already know that Venice… actually floats! Unlike Amsterdam or Saint Petersburg, it is not just furrowed by canals, bordered by roads and pavements. In 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. Cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates are strictly forbidden. But this is not all. At times Venice may find itself... under water! The acqua alta phenomenon – the result of heavy rainfall and high tides - can cause the water level to rise by as much as 58 W H E R E V E N I C E I O C TO B E R 2016
a meter, forcing everyone to walk on raised plank walkways, or don rain boots (many shops, including tobacconists, sell disposable ones) in order to cross the city’s flooded calli, campielli and salizade. 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. You need to learn them if you want to find your way through the spectacular, maze-like historic centre. Venice also has its own network of public... and private transportation: its vaporetti, real waterbuses, are the most popular craft used
by locals, which is why they are often very crowded during peak hours. These enginepowered water taxis are able to whiz across the lagoon in a heartbeat, but for those who prefer a unique, incredibly romantic experience, the famous, distinctive gondola is an absolute must. This elegant, black, one-oared rowing boat drifts gently across the water, while its gondolier sings an entire repertoire of traditional Venetian folk songs. It goes without saying that the waters of the canals are not suitable for swimming, and their banks are often slippery.

A hallmark symbol of Venice, who has never dreamt of riding on one of these marvels of craftsmanship, whose charms have withstood the test of time? The components (approximately 280) of these extraordinary craft still bear their almost fairytale-like names of the past: ‘sankòni’, ‘fiùboni’, ‘solarai’ and ‘maistre’... To name but a few. Tradition has it that each gondolier has his own gondola, custom-made according to his weight and height. Among the most ancient boatyards (or 'squeri'), the most remarkable is perhaps that of Domenico Tramontin and Sons. Established in 1884, it was the supplier to the House of Savoy, the Prefecture and the Commune of Venice (Dorsoduro, 1542. www.tramontingondole.it). An interesting feature that you are bound to notice on a gondolier’s uniform is the logo. Its most recent version was created by the Style Department of Duca d’Aosta, a shop established in 1902 in the Rialto neighbourhood by Emilio Ceccato. The logo features St. Mark as the Winged Lion, holding an open book, a symbol of peace and strength, framed by two 'ferri' – the traditional iron gondola prow ornaments (also known in Venetian as 'fero da próva' or 'dolfin').
Bringing one home as a keepsake is neither easy (nor cheap!), but you can avoid this by purchasing a souvenir created ad hoc. Where? At Emilio Ceccato’s clothing and accessory store, the official supplier and technical sponsor of the Associazione Gondolieri di Venezia (The Gondolier’s Association of Venice) in San Polo 16/17 (T: 041 5222700) and in San Marco, 257 (T: 041 8478885). www.emilioceccato.com

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. Vaporetti - An efficient network of water bus routes covers the entire city and includes transportation to the islands.The service is active 24/24h but runs less frequently between 9.30pm and 6am. Landing stages are located at central points around the city (including Piazzale Roma, Rialto, Piazza San Marco…) . Tickets - Although paper tickets are available at main embarkation points and from authorized resellers displaying the ACTV logo, electronic tickets can also be pre-purchased online. ACTV. Piazzale Roma. T: 041 2424. www actv.it. There are 6 different types of tickets, ranging from hourly tickets (€7.50 for a 75’ regular route) to a weekly pass (€60) for unlimited travel on almost all lines. TIP The boat trip from one bank of the Grand Canal to the other costs 50 cents (via ferry).You can pre-purchase reduced-price tickets from Venice Connected: www.veniceconnected.com. IMOB smart cards are available at all ACTV ticket offices. Although they allow you to save on official rates, they are only recommended for long-term visits.
Gondolas - These traditional craft are among the best-known tourist attraction for those wishing to experience a view of Venice that is anything but pedestrian. They are used almost exclusively by tourists (and Venetians on their wedding days). TIP Before embarking, we suggest that you check official rates (approximately €80 for 45 minutes and €100 after 7pm). Agree on a price, time limit and singing in advance to avoid unexpected surcharges. Associazione dei Gondolieri T. 041 5285075. www.gondolavenezia.it Traghetti (Ferries) - ‘Traghetti’ are gondolas that cross the Grand Canal in 8 points. ‘Traghetti’ rides cost just €2 for non-residents (for holders of City Pass Venezia Unica or ACTV passes, rides cost 0.70) and operate almost non-stop. Four ferry services operate in Venice. Taxi - Water taxis with a cabin (private water taxis) are available for hire from 16 landing stages, including Lido Aeroporto Marco Polo, piazzale Roma, Ferrovia, Rialto and San Marco, or from your hotel. TIP Although private water taxis can be costly, they are the fastest and most practical means of getting around Venice. Ask your concierge.
Car - The city can be accessed from the mainland by car, thanks to an elevated section (a 4km bridge, the longest in Italy, also known as the ‘Translagunare’), with limited parking options at garages in Piazzale Roma or on the Island of Tronchetto. Prices for 24-hour parking cost approximately €30 euro. TIP It’s advisable to travel to Mestre by car (24-hour parking costs approximately €15 euro) and then continue on to Venice by public transport.
