EDITOR'S TIP >> The most exclusive view of Venice? From the Lido (page 38), Heliair offers an easy solution. There’s nothing better than experiencing a sunset in the air. If you’re on the ground, don’t forget these simple rules for lovers of Venice (below).

WELCOME TO VENICE

FOR REAL VENETIAN LOVERS A trip to Venice is a unique experience: to make sure it’s unforgettable, here are some insider tips to make the most of your visit.

ACQUA ALTA In the event of ‘acqua alta’ (flooding), use the raised walkways provided. Keep to the right and don’t hang around. Don’t step into the water, because it’s dirty.

When travelling on public transport, please respect the other passengers: avoid blocking the entrance or exit, store your bags where the boat staff tells you and remove your backpacks.

BIKES AND OTHERS MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION

It is forbidden to walk around Venice in a bathing costume or bare-chested. Swimming in Venice’s canals is prohibited. The Lido is the go-to place for bathing. Venice is an elegant ‘grand dame’ and a certain dress code is ‘de rigueur’.

HUMANS IN VENICE The first exhibition in Italy by David Hockney, one of the world’s greatest contemporary figurative artists, is currently showing at the San Stae museum in Venice. Born in Britain but Californian by adoption, between 2013 and 2016, Hockney completed eighty-two portraits. Each work is the same size, showing his sitter in the same chair, against the same bi-tonal background and all were painted in the same time frame of three days. Yet Hockney’s virtuoso paint handling allows their differing personalities to leap off the canvas with warmth and immediacy. In a contemporary era in which the visual consumption of images runs at breakneck speed, David Hockney revives the pictorial genre of portraiture, seeking the essence of the sitter through careful observation. “I think that the more I know and respect people, the more interesting the result will be.” A first-ever Italy premiere, the exhibition will subsequently be hosted at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the LACMA in Los Angeles.

A MARRIAGE OF SCIENCE AND BEAUTY ▼ Head to T Fondaco dei Tedeschi, the new luxury department store and cultural hub overlooking the Grand Canal to see ‘Waterbones’, the site-specific installation by Italian artist Loris Cecchini. Comprising thousands of thin welded interconnecting steel modules, in an apparent state of construction and deconstruction, this installation is part of the artist’s series of delicate and natural works. Whether leaning against a wall or hanging from the glass ceiling, the organic structure designed by Cecchini plays with gravity, creating a threedimensional effect which is both natural and artificial, static and dynamic. Open every day to the public freely.

▲ From August 26, 2017, through January 7, 2018, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice presents the exhibition PICASSO. On the Beach curated by Luca Massimo Barbero. The exhibition is a collaboration with the Musée Picasso of Paris, and focuses on one of Peggy Guggenheim’s favorite works of art, Picasso’s ‘On the Beach’ (La Baignade, 1937) as well as two other paintings, ten drawings and a sculpture, all works completed by Pablo Picasso between February and December 1937. The show is part of a program of seminars, publications, studies, and exhibitions tied to the three-year Picasso-Méditerranée project whose aim is to explore and shed new light on the connections the Spanish artist had with the Mediterranean, which played an important role in his artistic career: from his roots in Spain to his life in France, and his relationships with artists and art forms that had the Mediterranean as their frame of reference.

Live art experience A guide to spending unforgettable days at the Biennale while browsing exhibitions and viewing contemporary performance art at some of Venice’s most beautiful locations. BY ROMENA BRUGNEROTTO

stablished in 1887 and often referred to as the ‘Olympics of the art world’, Venice’s Art Biennale is an event most people have heard about and would like to attend at least once in a lifetime. The opening week, and also the most soughtafter, boasts a cornucopia of inaugurations and parties dedicated to the celebration of art and contemporary artists: before setting out, make a list of highlights that are not to be missed because, depending on the time available, you might only be able to see a fraction of what’s on offer. However, now that the art world hordes have retreated and the Italians have left for the seaside, August is the perfect time to visit the Art Biennale.

At the Marinaressa Gardens in Riva dei Sette Martiri, visitors can admire the nine painted bronze sculptures of bathers by Carole Feuerman, an exhibition organized by the GAA Foundation and hosted by the European Cultural Centre.

A SHORT GUIDE TO THE BIENNALE There are two official exhibition sites: the Giardini and the Arsenale, two truly unique places. The Giardini because each country participating at the exposition has its own pavilion designed by a renowned architect (the pavilions alone deserve a separate visit) and the Arsenale because you’ll be stepping into one of the most important places in the history of the Republic of Venice, the former military dockyards where the boats that made the Serenissima famous for its trade with the East were built. The organizers of the Venice Biennale offer different types of tickets: forget about visiting the Giardini and the Arsenale in just one day. It’s advisable to opt for a multi-entry ticket so that you can enjoy the experience to the full without exhausting yourself. Before setting out, make sure that you’re well equipped: have a large breakfast and bring bottled water and something to snack on, like fruit or dried fruit, with you. If you suffer from low blood pressure, a few sticks of licorice are also advisable. Once you get there, food isn’t a problem because both locations offer well-equipped catering areas, including bars and restaurants. Try to avoid eating at 1pm, the set time for lunch in Italy. Plan on spending at least 4 hours at each location. This will give you time to sit down when you’re tired of walking and enable you to either enjoy some respite from the heat or watch a video installation. If you have any questions about the works displayed, and you’re bound to have many, don’t hesitate to ask w w w.wh e re t ravel e r. com 11

WHERE NOW | FOCUS for help from either the pavilion assistants or other members of staff carrying Ipads and wearing ‘ask me’ T-shirts. Additionally, guided tours designed to enhance your viewing experience are available on a daily basis. Those in search of a personal guide should contact Best Venice Guide (info_EN@bestveniceguide.it) which also organizes tours for children. At each edition, Golden Lions are awarded to the best pavilions. This year, the German Pavilion, featuring a performance installation by Anne Imhof, won the coveted prize (since part of the work is a performance make sure to check the times when it’s on) with a special mention going to the Brazilian Pavilion displaying works by Cinthia Marcelle whose aim was to inform visitors about the country’s current political and economic crisis. In addition to 85 official national participants showing in the country pavilions in the Giardini, at the Arsenale and in off-site locations throughout Venice, hundreds of collateral events spill out of historic palazzos, churches, museums and squares across the city, many of which are usually closed to the public. What better opportunity to get to know Venice better? We’re not exaggerating when we tell you that you need at least one week to see all the events. The most complete guide is called ‘My Art Guide Venice 2017’: it’s small and handy and can be carried in your backpack. It’s available at bookshops across the city as well as at various Biennale locations (an App is also available). In addition to providing you with a detailed list, it also offers a short description of the works hosted at the pavilions visited.

ART ACCORDING TO CHRISTINE MACEL This year, French curator Christine Macel’s theme for the Biennale is ‘Viva Arte Viva’, offering, in very French fashion, “a journey from the interiority to infinity” through a sequence of 9 interconnected “Trans-pavilions” strategically located between the Giardini and the Arsenale, the idea being to put artists and artistic practice at the center. The curator has chosen works by both established and less well-known artists with the objective of infusing visitors and young artists with a new ‘positive, prospective energy’. She has achieved her goal and visitors can now immerse themselves in these works, be transported by their emotions and choose those that speak to their hearts. In some cases, you can actually walk into the work. One such example is the Shamanic tent-shaped structure by Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto titled ‘Um sagrado lugar’ (Sacred Place); a place where people can live in harmony with the world and nature while socializing and healing the soul. SEVERAL TIPS FROM WHERE® The Italian Pavilion at the Arsenale curated by Cecilia Alemanni deserves a special mention as does the work by Giorgio Andreotta Calò called ‘Untitled’ (The End of the World). Visitors enter the dark pavilion through a tunnel made from plastic tubes before climbing a set of stairs and emerging alongside an expanse of water. The dark pool reflects the entire beamed ceiling above, seemingly turning the world upside down. A disquieting work, that blurs the lines between dreams and reality.

A fairytale city Two massive hands, 9 metres high, rise from the Grand Canal and support the Ca’ Sagredo Hotel. These are the weeks when Venice, more than any other time of the year, resembles something out of a fairytale. Titled ‘Support’, this monumental sculpture by renowned artist Lorenzo Quinn was built for the 2017 Venice Art Biennale. The artist’s aim is to focus on the image of hands as a means of either support or destruction. His artwork conveys a desire to support this Venetian building, while simultaneously supporting Venice and the world; all of which are subjected to powerful climate changes and the destruction wrought by mankind. The artist based the hands on those of his son Anthony, and, by doing so, Lorenzo’s aim was to convey a message of hope. For him the hands represent an appeal to future generations to respond to the need to make significant changes in the world. This work was warmly received by Venetians and tourists alike and also, as noted by Lorenzo Quinn during its inauguration, by the Lagoon’s gondoliers, who are notoriously critical about any form of innovation in the city. The best way to admire this sculpture is from a boat on the Grand Canal or on the opposite bank, in the Rialto market area. (R.B.)

Among the most widely visited and talked about, we suggest a visit to the Church of the Abbazia where Italian-Egyptian artist Omar Hassan has created a site-specific work that aims to investigate the dialogue between the classic and the contemporary, thus also affording visitors a chance to admire the church, a real gem of architecture! Another must-see is the national pavilion of Antigua and Barbuda at the Don Orione Artigianelli centre at the Zattere featuring works by the artist Frank Walter dedicated to the theme ‘The Last Universal Man’ (the first national participation by this country, this pavilion, curated by Barbara Paca, has received rave reviews from critics worldwide). Alternately, take an afternoon off and head to the Island of San Giorgio to visit all of the exhibitions currently showing there including Michelangelo Pistoletto’s ‘One and One makes Three’ conceived for the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore and for the adjoining spaces, the Sacristy, the Main Choir, the Sala del Capitolo and the Officina dell’Arte Spirituale. Another must-see is the exhibition titled ‘Personal Structures - Open Borders’ hosted at Palazzo Morra, showcasing works by internationally acclaimed artists each of whom expresses his or her personal reflections on the concepts of Time, Space and Existence. 14 W H E R E V E N I C E I AU G U S T 2017

EDITOR'S TIP A complex, ambitious project, billed as “10 years in the making.” Damien Hirst’s mythological extravaganza tells visitors about the findings of an archaeological excavation that salvaged the precious cargo of an ancient ship called the ‘Unbelievable’. Discovered in 2008, the ship carried an immense collection of sculptures, jewels and coins, amassed by Aulus Calidus Amotan, a freed slave turned wealthy man from Antioch. True or false? Visitors are greeted by a bizarre, ambiguous world, huge sculptures and collections of precious artifacts, dredged up from the depths of the ocean to generate questions and create disbelief. This vast exhibition is displayed across 5,000 square meters of museum space at Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana, the two Venetian venues of the Pinault Collection, both dedicated for the first time ever to the works of a single artist. A unique experience: Damien Hirst’s first major solo exhibition in Italy is at once sensational, overwhelming and bizarre.

SITE-SPECIFIC CREATIVITY The international pavilions at the Giardini and the Italian Pavilion at the Arsenale are must-visit places, often referencing 20th-century architecture. Every year, during the Biennale, they are enhanced by works of art whose appeal is heightened thanks to the skill of their curators whose choices are crucial to the success of the exhibition.

If you’re looking for something a little more relaxing, we warmly recommend making a stopover at the Marinaressa Gardens hosting works by Carole Feuerman. Her hyperrealistic bathers are bound to infuse even the weariest travelers with a sense of calm. Several other astounding works are also on display outside the city. These include Lorenzo Quinn’s ‘Support’ on the Grand Canal at the Hotel Ca’ Sagredo and James Lee Byars’ 20-meter ‘Golden Tower’ in campo San Vio, at the Academy. Always on the Grand Canal, in front of Palazzo Grassi, a sculpture by artist Damien Hirst tempts visitors to step inside and visit the exhibition titled ‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’, a complex, highly ambitious project both in terms of its size and subject matter. The exhibition revolves around the narrative of a fictional, S. Servolo ancient ship wreck called the ‘unbelievable’, and reveals the underwater discovery of its precious cargo: an imposing collection of objects amassed by Cif Amotan II, a freed slave turned wealthy man from Antioch, who was transporting them to a legendary temple dedicated to the Sun god in the East. Is this story true or just something dreamt up by this incredible artist? Trying to fit everything into a week is near impossible! It might be a good idea to spend the entire summer in Venice!

Fragile beauty Craftsmanship, originality and innovation. These are the three hallmark features that make Venini’s Murano glass creations true icons of art. By Stefania Vida

he story of Venini is a journey into the history of Venetian glass art… an art that is as ancient as it is beautiful. Since 1921, it has gained international recognition for a uniqueness that stems from bringing the art of glassmaking into the larger context of art by collaborating with celebrated architects and designers. In 1987, the company signed an agreement with Alessandro Mendini, a living legend in the field of international design and architecture, and the 1990s marked the beginning of a collaboration with eclectic architect and industrial designer Ettore Sottsass. Other illustrious contributors include Gae Aulenti, Mario Bellini, Timo Sarpaneva and Fulvio Bianconi (renowned for the iconic ‘Handkerchief’ vases). The results are unique creations with an intangible 20 W H E R E V E N I C E I AU G U S T 2017

value derived from the human touch that brought it to life. Each Venini object is unique, just like the instant when the item was forged and took on its final shape. Those wishing to further their knowledge about glass art can visit the Venini Museum, a real treasure trove of unique pieces. Its archives feature more than 45,000 designs by international artists including Carlo Scarpa, Gio Ponti, Napoleone Martinuzzi, Tapio Wirkkala, Fulvio Bianconi and Tadao Ando; 10,000 period photos, depicting architectural installations, past exhibitions and the people who worked with Venini, and 5,000 works, including several prototypes that were never released on the market as well as a collection of extremely rare artist drafts!

Glassmaking had already become an integral part of life in the Venetian lagoon 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 and all the glass workshops were moved to Murano. It was here that eyeglasses were invented in the 13th century and here that, in 1369, mirrors began to be produced. 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 splendor during the Art Nouveau period. Artists including Lalique, Dammouse and Tiffany sought out the glassblowers of Murano to produce their famous works. During the mid-20th century, real masters of the art began to emerge in Murano including Signoretto, Ballarin, Zanetti and Vidal and their works are true collectors’ items which are often displayed at museums. Murano today has numerous glass factories, several of which boast an age-old history or a list of particularly prestigious collaborations (i.e. Venini).

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 leave EU territory by the end of the third month after the month that you bought them; • several specific customs formalities are complied with; • the invoice is returned to the Italian retailer within four months after the purchase was made. 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.agenziadoganemonopoli.gov.it/ portale/ee/citizen/vta-refund

The Rialto Market

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.

Galleria Contini

Is Venice really a place to buy objet d’art? Definitely! There are so many large and small 20th century and contemporary art galleries in the city that it’s almost impossible to list them all. Where® has selected a pick, renowned for their quality, tradition, or originality. By Romena Brugnerotto Galleria Contini is a must-visit address for modern and contemporary art. Boasting more than 40 years in the business (it’s the oldest gallery in Venice), it exhibits works by important Italian and international artists including Mitoraj, Botero and Giuseppe Veneziano (San Marco 2288, www.continiarte.com). Other galleries, such as Luce Arte Moderna, are renowned for their display of works associated with the city (San Marco 1922, www.gallerialuce.com).

Newcomers? Coinciding with the launch of the Biennale, Venice’s gallery scene has been further enriched by the opening of a new branch of Galerie Alberta Pane. The new, 300-square-meter space, a former carpentry shop turned art gallery, will create an artistic link between Paris and Venice. In keeping with the space’s history as a workshop, the gallery will allow artists to give life to ambitious projects such as large scale installations and will offer artist workshops and talks on contemporary art as part of its programs (Dorsoduro 2403/h, www.galeriealbertapane.com). Among the new openings, the Victoria Miro Gallery has arrived directly from London to take up residence in the former space of Venice’s historic “Il Capricorno” gallery. The London dealer

has brought several of the important artists represented by her to the heart of the city (San Marco 1994, www.victoria-miro.com). Located in the so-called Art Mile, in the sestiere of Dorsoduro which is teeming with museums and galleries, another must-visit venue is Galleria L’Occhio which, until 7 June, will host the works of Tobia Ravà, a Venetian artist renowned for researching the mystic currents of Judaism (San Marco 1994, www.gallerialocchio.net). Must-visit addresses for lovers of photography? The Ikona Photo Gallery housed in the picturesque spaces of the Ghetto Novo. Since 1979, thanks to its association with the Ikona International School of Photography, it has brought the best-known names in international photography to Venice (www.ikonavenezia.com). The ghetto is also home to Melori & Rosenberg, a historic gallery renowned for exhibiting the works of hyperrealist painter Luigi Rocca (Cannaregio 2919, www.melori-rosenberg.com).

Fans of photography should also plan a visit to the Bugno Art Gallery that exhibits the works of well-known Italian photographers including Campigotto, Morucchio and Galimberti (San Marco 1996/d, www.bugnoartgallery.com). It goes without saying that Venice is one of the best places to purchase glass objects. Due to its indepth knowledge of artistic glass, Berengo Studio 1989 has invited several of the world’s best-known contemporary artists to experiment with this material and create unique pieces (Fondamenta dei Vetrai 109/a, www.berengostudio1989.com). Other go-to spaces in the city include Caterina Tognon who represents the most important artists of Studio Glass (San Marco 2158, www.caterinatognon.com).

STROLLING THROUGH BURANO

VENETIANS

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

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 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 36 W H E R E V E N I C E I AU G U S T 2017

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 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.

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 (Pietà stop). Take a look at the venue where the Film Festival is held, and admire the MOSE flood barrier, the huge hydraulic engineering project designed to protect the lagoon.

LIDO DI VENEZIA

Although the Lido is Venice’s beach, it is also much more. An island, a town with its own history and a nature reserve, it is also a jet-setters’ paradise, with luxury hotels and exclusive villas. In September, it becomes the world capital of cinema. BY ELENA BINDA

The Lido (meaning beach in Italian) is a separate island from Venice. Measuring less than 200 metres in depth in certain areas, it is a 12km stretch of sand, strategically positioned between the Lagoon and the open sea, only connected to the city and dry land by ‘vaporetti’ or ferry boats. The clear difference between the Lido and Venice is that the Lido has real streets, which means you get around by car. In mid-November, Rolls Royce’s, Cadillac’s and Bentleys abound at the entrances of grand hotels. However, today, it is considered chicer to access the Lido by boat or explore it on foot or by bicycle. WHAT TO SEE - The nature reserve and wild sand dunes of the Alberoni, recognized and protected by the WWF since 1997, are the perfect place for a quick swim. The area comprises 160 hectares of land, including

38 W H E R E V E N I C E I AU G U S T 2017

two kilometers of golden sand dunes that extend from Murazzi to the Alberoni dam, and a beautiful pine forest. For a natural beach experience, the Lido also offers several free beaches, like the sandy dunes of San Nicolò, the rocky outcrops of the Murazzi, or the beach known to the Venetians as ‘Bluemoon”. Among other attractions, the area is home to an exclusive golf club set against a stunning backdrop of umbrella pines and poplars. Founder of the famous automotive house and an avid fan of Venice, Henry Ford commissioned the course in 1926, when he discovered to his disappointment that there was nowhere else where he could play golf, a sport widely practiced in America, but not in Italy at that time. WHERE TO GO - Moving to the other end of the island, we find Malamocco, a small, ancient town that offers visitors a mini experience of

Also dating back to olden times, in a more northerly direction, is the settlement of San Nicolò, featuring a Benedictine complex built in the 11th century. WHAT TO DO - Don’t miss a walk, or even better, a bike ride along the Murazzi, the remains of ancient fortresses which are now used as a race track. Bicycles are provided by several of the island’s hotels. If you happen to be there at the right time, you will be treated to a breathtaking sunset. What’s more, you’ll also get a glimpse of a wilder, more untamed side of Venice, amidst the boats and fishermen searching for clams. One of the island’s rituals, that you should not miss is having a ‘spritz’: the Venetian cocktail or aperitivo par excellence. You won’t have any trouble finding one at any bar on the Gran Viale, the Lido’s promenade. If you’re not pressed for time you can catch a boat from the Gran Viale

to Pellestrina (where you can eat fabulously fresh fish, or a sandwich with fried sardines), or travel to Chioggia, a second, smaller Venice that abounds in fabulous small restaurants. SPECIAL EVENTS - For many years the Lido has been the playground of celebrities and crowned heads. It all begans in the second half of the 19th century when the international jet-set discovered its long sandy beaches. It is therefore not surprising that in August 1932 the terrace of the Hotel Excelsior hosted the first film festival, attended by all the film stars of the time. Then, a special location, the Palazzo del Cinema, was assigned to the most glamorous event of the year. At the end of summer, the festival turns the sleepy Lido into a mini Hollywood, attracting rising stars of the screen, eager to be photographed, plus hordes of fans, film buffs and onlookers. w w w.wh e re t ravel e r. com 39

Taste is golden! Venice is famous throughout the world for its countless treasures... The Oro Restaurant is a recipient of a Michelin star, and a must-visit stopover for lovers of good food. And what food! By Stefania Vida

t all began with an important architectural project conceived by world-renowned interior architect Adam D. Tihany, whose meticulous attention to detail is apparent in the interior décor of the Oro Restaurant. With its Murano glass chandeliers, marvelous golden ceiling and outdoor terrace reminiscent of Venice’s characteristic ‘campielli’ (squares), Oro offers guests a quintessentially Venetian setting. The true mastermind behind the restaurant is Executive Chef Davide Bisetto (in the photo), who won’t fail to impress you with sophisticated dishes inspired by the gastronomic traditions of Venice, and his exquisite presentations. This is a unique experience that will delight your eyes and titillate your taste buds! His multi-award winning menu is based on the use of sustainable, seasonal 42 W H E R E V E N I C E I AU G U S T 2017

produce and the finest local ingredients. With starters like Red prawn and spider crab au natural, pink grapefruit aspic, citrus, Sant'Erasmus cucumber sorbet, and tomato water Bloody Mary (all served together), as well as main courses, including sea bass braised in Prosecco, served in a traditional stone dish, Chef Bisetto’s cuisine captivates Venetians and tourists alike, for an unparalleled gourmet experience. From this year, guests can enjoy the vegetable garden's flavours as they sit next to the vegetables planted in raised beds in the gardens of Belmond Hotel Cipriani. These beds produce vegetables for Bisetto’s new spring menu, and it's here that guests can chat to the chef as he gathers garden-fresh radishes or salad leaves.

MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS

A hidden treasure Iconic, beautiful and... imperfect. Without a doubt, this is the characteristic that makes Scala Contarini del Bovolo a rare gem of Venetian architecture. By Stefania Vida

idden in a maze of ‘calli’ (squares) and canals, just steps from Campo Manin, along one of the main tourist routes in Venice (from the Santa Lucia railway to the Gallerie dell'Accademia), visitors will find an architectural gem featuring a combination of Renaissance, Gothic and Byzantine elements. The Scala Contarini del Bovolo is a historic building of unmatched beauty that also owes some of its charm to the intrigue surrounding its namesake staircase. According to historic records, the Scala Contarini del Bovolo was commissioned by Pietro Contarini towards the end of 1400;

however, there is still some uncertainty about the true identity of its creator. The most credible version attributes it to Giovanni Candi, referred to in historical records as a ‘marangon’, meaning a carpenter and woodworker as opposed to an architect. This would explain the architectural inconsistencies of the building, which are quite noticeable when climbing the staircase. Mysteries aside, those who are not afraid of heights can climb to the top of this 26m 'bovolo' (snail-shell) stairwell, enclosed in a cylinder perforated like lace, to admire a rare view of the city. Amidst its rooftops you will notice one of Venice’s trademark architectural

The architectural beauty of the amazing, external stairwell is well worth a visit

It was built to celebrate the deliverance from the Black Death, which killed one third of the population. To commemorate the end of the plague, a solemn festival is still held at the church on the third Sunday of July. www.chorusvenezia.org. Campo Redentore (Giudecca). T: 041 2750462.

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 church dates back to before the year 1000, while its famous polychrome façade, embellished with mosaics and bas-reliefs, is a 13th century addition.

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

THE BEST-LOVED RED CARPET

Campanile di San Marco (Bell Tower)

This 98.6 metre bell tower is affectionately known to the Venetians as ‘el paron de casa’ (the master of the house) because it dominates the city, observing everything that lies below it. Resting lightly on the exquisite Loggetta del Sansovino, it has a particularly recognizable shape and a rich history. The original medieval bell tower was modified several times, and rebuilt entirely when it unexpectedly collapsed in 1902. It is worth going up to the tower, to enjoy a breathtaking view over the city. Although admission is not free, it is often included in joint tickets. Opening times are subject to change.

Canal Grande (Grand Canal)

Although it is known as ‘the most beautiful street in the world’, the Canal Grande is the main waterway of Venice and much more. 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. 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. It is is almost impossible to list all of them, but for more information you can visit the www. canalgrandevenezia.it website. For excursions

The 74th International Film Festival, the only thing hotter than a Lido beach in August, kicks off on 30 August, attracting stars of the cinema and hordes of fans, film buffs and onlookers. This year’s competition will see a line-up of 20 world premiere feature films contending either for a Golden or Silver Lion award. These coveted statues, replicating the symbol of Venice - the winged lion - are awarded respectively by an international jury for the best film and the best director. Among the innovations announced, this year’s festival will see an unusual role reversal. For the first time in Venice, a patron rather than a patroness has been chosen to host the festival and, after an 11-year string of male presidents, this year, the position will be held by a woman. Actor Alessandro Borghi will host the opening and closing events of the 74th Venice International Film Festival 2017, while American actress Annette Bening, a four-time Oscar nominee (The Grifters, 1991; American beauty, 1999; Being Julia,2004 and The Kids Are All Right, 2010), has been named President of the jury. www.labiennale.org/en/cinema

ESSENTIALS

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 Italians (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 a meter, forcing everyone to walk on raised plank walkways, or don rain boots (many shops, including tobacconists, sell disposable 58 W H E R E V E N I C E I AU G U S T 2017

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. This division dates back to the 12th century and also includes areas such as La Giudecca, the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore (San Marco) and the Island of San Michele, home to the city’s cemetery (Castello). Street numbers in each sestiere start from 1 and often reach four figures, for example, one of the last numbers of the sestiere of Castello is 7,000. 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. Be careful not to be so focused on your selfie stick that you walk into a canal because you might be in for some © PAOLA DALLA VALENTINA rather unpleasant surprises!

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).

Gondolas, a tourist’s dream!

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.

60 W H E R E V E N I C E I AU G U S T 2017

Tradition has it that each gondolier has his own gondola, custommade 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?

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.

VENICE HELICOPTER TOURS

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 2 euro (only cash). 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.

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…) .
