WHERE VENICE: A DREAM CITY WELCOMES ITS GUESTS WITH THE BEST INFORMATION Where® was launched in the USA in 1936 to respond to a question posed by travelers, “what can I do in the city?”. Over the years, an editorial formula, involving the dissemination of the magazine in 100 cities throughout the world and in the rooms of more than 7,000 of the best international hotels, was developed. When we decided to take on the challenge of publishing Where®, we undertook an entrepreneurial risk: as everyone knows, the traditional publishing industry has been affected by a crisis during the past few years. However, throughout the world, Where®’s winning formula is to target those readers who need information most, making it available to them at their hotels and providing them with timely, accurate, first-hand insider information from the people who know the city best.

Piazza San Marco with the Basilica and the Tower
BASILICA DI SAN MARCO 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; inside, a triumphant array of domes and transepts, mosaics and gold, marble and numerous other treasures.
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.
PONTE DEI SOSPIRI A Baroque bridge that once connected Palazzo Ducale to the prisons. The Bridge of Sights is one of Venice’s most romantic sights. It can be accessed when visiting Palazzo Ducale.
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. CHIESA AND SCUOLA GRANDE DI SAN ROCCO A Renaissance complex consisting of a church and adjoining palace, it was built as a sign of devotion to San Rocco who was
MORE AT PAGE 56 called upon to protect the plague-stricken population of Venice during the 15th century. The interiors are filled with numerous treasures. 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. Formerly the residence and government centre of the Doges, it is superbly decorated by artists like Titian, Tiepolo and Tintoretto. Canal Grande

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.

THE EXPERIMENTAL POWER OF ART
► Today, like every Saturday at 3pm, Palazzo Grassi is offering free guided tours of the first retrospective in Italy dedicated to ‘Sigmark Polke’. Marking the 10th anniversary of the re-opening of Palazzo Grassi, this exhibition celebrates the artist who won a Golden Lion at the 42nd Venice Biennale (German Pavilion). The 90 works on display explore Polke’s eclectic production from the 1960s to the present time, a mixture of experimentation and political anxiety. "Axial Age", the artist’s last important pictorial cycle, created between 2005 and 2007 and installed in the atrium of Palazzo Grassi, is particularly noteworthy. Booking not required.

RELIVING HISTORY ON THE CANAL

► One of the most traditional Venetian events, held for the first time on 10 January 1315 to welcome Queen Caterina Cornaro of Cyprus to Venice, is back again. The ‘Regata Storica di Venezia’ takes place in two stages: a parade of boats decorated in 16th-century style and the actual regattas that mark the end of the annual ‘Voga alla Veneta’ rowing events. The races start from the Riva degli Schiavoni and proceed to Punta della Salute, where the crowds anxiously wait to see which boat will enter the Grand Canal first. The oarsmen then head towards the Santa Lucia Railway Station, where the boats turn around a ‘paleto’ (pylon) to row back to the finishing line at Ca’ Foscari. www.regastorica.it

► If you need some invigorating laughter to ward off the autumnal blues this evening, then head to Venice’s lovely Teatro Goldoni for some light Italian comedy. Arlecchino, Italy’s most famous masked character, meets Carlo Goldoni in Il servitore di due padroni (Servant of two masters), the dramatist’s most widely staged play, re-adapted in a new version. At the end of each performance, guests will be offered an ‘aperitivo’ in the theatre’s courtyard. Subtitles in French and English. Until 9 October.

The Biennale of Venice 2016 One of the oldest and most prestigious art exhibitions in the world.

nderstanding what the Biennale of Venice really entails can prove rather daunting. However, experiencing its atmosphere and artistic offerings is an unforgettable experience. It was founded in 1895, as the Biennale Exposition of Art, to promote new artistic trends on a world level. However, over time, the Biennale was enriched with festivals and exhibitions dedicated to individual arts. The establishment of the International Music Festival dates back to 1930; the International Exhibition of Cinematographic Art, the oldest cinematographic festival in the world, was instituted in 1932; the International Theatre Festival was founded in 1934; the International Architecture Exhibition was created in 1980, while 1999 saw the establishment of the Festival of Contemporary Dance. Thanks to the quality of work exhibited, the Architecture Exhibition was such a success that it almost ‘stole’ the show from the Art Festival. As a result, its organizers decided to hold these exhibitions on alternate years. Although the Biennale is actually held every year, the spotlight
alternates between the Biennale of Art (odd-numbered years) and the Biennale of Architecture (even-numbered years). SIX MONTHS OF ARCHITECTURE While the exhibitions dedicated to other arts generally last for ten day (the Dance and Theatre Festivals have now ended), the 15th Biennale of Architecture opened its doors to the public on 28 May and is scheduled to close them on 27 November. Particularly noteworthy this year, is the theme proposed by Alejandro Aravena, a Chilean architect and curator of the 2016 event. Entitled ‘Reporting from the Front’, it is dedicated to the relationship between man and city planning, and focuses primarily on ethics rather than aesthetics, highlighting crucial issues including segregation, outlying areas, migration, traffic and waste. While it is true that architecture is the most political of all the arts, the theme of the 2016 Biennale adds a socio-economic and environmental dimension, as Aravena himself stated during the inaugural conference: “We believe that the advancement of architecture is not a goal in itself but a way to improve people’s quality of life. Given that life ranges from very basic physical needs to the
most intangible dimensions of the human condition, improving the quality of the built environment is an endeavor that has to be tackled on many fronts." The itinerary of the thematic exhibition follows the works of 88 participants from 37 countries, 50 of whom are participating at the Biennale for the first time, including 33 architects under the age of 40. In addition to these, there are 65 national pavilions, with five ‘new entries’ including the Philippines, Lithuania, Nigeria, the Seychelles and Yemen. THE LOCATIONS: A TRIP BACK IN TIME One of the main headquarters of the Biennale of Architecture, Venice’s old ‘Aresenale’, boasts an age-old history. The Arsenale is a massive complex of naval shipyards and workshops, whose first units were built in the 12th century, when the fleets of the Serenissima dominated half of the world’s maritime trade routes. Thanks to careful industrial archaeological work, architects and designers set up different
SOME PRACTICAL INFORMATION WHEN: from 28 May to 27 November OPENING TIMES: 10am-6pm (Fri and Sat 10am-8pm) - Arsenale venue, until 24 September. Closed on Mondays. WHERE: Arsenale (Fondamenta Arsenale); Giardini della Biennale (Castello).

buildings and scenic gardens, at each edition of the Biennale, creating a striking contrast amidst contemporary installations and ancient structures. The second location, whose history is more recent but no less fascinating, is the Giardini della Biennale. The Gardens were created by Napoleon who demolished a working-class district at the eastern end of Venice to create a public garden on the banks of the Bacino di San Marco. The site boasts the 29 historic pavilions of the first foreign countries that participated
at the exhibition. Real works of art, built in 1907 by prestigious architects including Alvar Aalto, Josef Hoffmann and Carlo Scarpa, they include the pure white Art-Noveau-style Central Pavilion, which was built in 1894 to host the main events of the first Biennale. In addition to the institutional sites, the six-month event, involves the entire city, and its most spectacular buildings become locations for installations, off-site events, exhibitions, seminars and debates.
An event characterized by optimism “At previous Biennale Exhibitions we have often complained that the present seems to be characterized by an increasing disconnection between architecture and civil society. At this Biennale, we want to investigate whether and where there are any trends going in the other direction towards renewal; we are looking for encouraging messages,” says Paolo Baratta, President of the Biennale of Venice. The curator Alejandro Aravena echoes his words: “Reporting from the Front is about listening to those who were able to gain a wider perspective and, as a consequence, share their knowledge and experience with those of us whose feet are still on the ground. Architecture deals with giving shape to the places that we inhabit. However, the shape of these places is not only defined by the aesthetic trend of the moment or by the talent of a specific architect. It is the consequence of regulations, interests, economies and policies, or possibly a
lack of coordination, indifference and randomness. The shapes assumed by architecture can improve or ruin the lives of people.”

When film stars descend upon the Lido Undoubtedly one of the hottest events in the world, bringing stars, directors and VIPs of the moment to Venice, or rather to the Lido.

or many years the Lido, that small strip of land that extends for a dozen or so kilometers in front of Venice, dividing the Lagoon from the Adriatic sea, has been the playground of celebrities and crowned heads. It all began in the second half of the 19th century when the international jet-set discovered its long, golden sandy beaches, lapped by a clear blue sea and ‘populated’ it with Art Noveau villas, luxury hotels (two, especially, real icons of elite hospitality: the Excelsior and the Grand Hotel Des Bains), and a casino (a massive rationalist building, currently being restyled). 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 including Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Vittorio De Sica and Joan Crawford (an interesting fact: the first film screened on 6 August, 1932, was Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Rouben Mamoulian), enhancing the event with a glamorous, worldly allure. A LITTLE OF HISTORY... AND SOME ANECDOTES Festival followed festival – at first every two years – the Film Festival was founded as a part of the Biennale of Venice, so it initially respected this format – but later became a yearly event due to its success with both the public and critics. A special location, the Palazzo del Cinema, was then assigned to the event. Located on the Marconi 14 W H E R E V E N I C E I S E P T E M B E R 2 016
On the final night of the Venice Film Festival (10 September 2016), the international jury will assign the 73rd Golden Lion for the best film.

promenade, this Modernist complex was built in record time for the 1937 festival, and since that time has become a symbol of the event. The secret of its incredible success? High-quality films, works that established famous directors (Federico Fellini, Ermanno Olmi and Emir Kusturica, to mention only a few), retrospectives, conventions and scandalous films (the most controversial were Teorema by Pier Paolo Pasolini, A Clockwork Orange and Lolita by Stanley Kubrik, The Last Temptation of Christ by Martin Scorsese and The Secrets of Brokeback Mountain by Ang Lee). All of the above were enhanced by jet-set parties, sumptuous dresses, fabulous jewelry and sensational hair-dos which were featured on the front pages of the tabloids, accompanied by endless gossip, rumours and unadulterated speculation regarding the arrival of actors and VIPs in Venice.

The list of anecdotes is never-ending: from Marlene Dietrich who, in 1937, annoyed everyone by behaving like a capricious diva, to the historic fights between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton; from King Edward VIII who arrived in 1956 on the arm of his wife Wallis Simpson – for whom he had abdicated the throne of England to Sean Connery who, in 1967 sped into the Lido 007-style, at the helm of a water taxi; from Marcello Mastroianni who was caught by the paparazzi in flagrante delicto with Swedish actress Anna Karina to Paul Newman, immortalized in 1963, while riding on a water taxi in a photograph that was destined to become one of the most popular and captivating shots ever taken of

the handsome actor (see photo). And there were Brigitte Bardot who was constantly hounded by the paparazzi and in 1958 was the most sought-after star at every jet-set event held at the Lido (see photo) and the argumentative Luchino Visconti who, despite being a front-runner both in 1954 and in 1960, only won the coveted Golden Lion Award in 1965, and an unknown Marlon Brando who sealed his rise to stardom in 1954 with On the Waterfront. There is no star, even in recent times, who has not graced the red carpet amidst applause and the flashes of hundreds of cameras; even Charlie Chaplin attended the event in 1972, as did the eccentric Salvador Dalì in

Before ‘taking to the runway’, stars (and photographers) are eager to show themselves on the ‘blue carpet’, the event marking their arrival at the Lido aboard speeding water taxis or romantic gondolas. THE COMPETITION AND THE PRIZES Glamour and glossy magazines apart, over the years, the ‘competitive’ part of the festival has gradually become more structured, with the introduction of an international jury, the screening of films from Eastern Europe, Japan, China and India and the classification of different sections, each of which is dedicated to a different aspect of filmmaking. In addition to the official selection, which includes up to 20 world premiere feature films competing for the coveted Golden Lion Award, there are also Out-of-Competition sections, featuring documentaries; Orizzonti, for directors and emerging trends; Venezia Classici, dedicated to re-runs of restored cult movies; International Critics’ Week, a series of 8 films chosen from among the debut works presented and Giornate degli Autori-Venice
UniCredit Tower Ryan Goslin with Emma Stone
Days, a series of 12 films chosen for their cultural value. During the closing ceremony, on the last day of the Festival, the 'Golden Lion' awards (the statues replicate the symbol of Venice, the winged lion) are given to the best film, the 'Silver Lion' to the best director, the 'Volpi Cup' (based on the name of one of the founders of the festival) to the best actress and best actor, the Premio (Prize) for the best screenplay, the 'Golden Lion Career Prize' which this year will be awarded to Jean-Paul Belmondo (see photo), the 'Marcello Mastroianni Award' for the best emerging actor or actress and the 'Orizzonti Award' for the best original screenplay. VENEZIA 73 The 73rd International Film Festival opened on 31 August and will end on 10 September; as always, the event has a rich gathering of films and stars at the Lagoon, starting with Ryan Goslin and Emma Stone (see photo), the stars of the musical 'La La Land', which kicked off the event. The patroness of the 2016 Festival, directed by Alberto Barbera, was the actress Sonia Bergamasco –the star of many successful films and of the popular TV series Commisioner Montalbano – while British film director Sam Mendes presided over the jury of the competition. Innovations at this year’s event included the screening of a TV series entitled The Young Pope by Paolo Sorrentino, featuring Jude Law and Diane Keaton: the first two installments will be screened during a world preview on 3 September at Palazzo del Cinema in the Out-of-Competition section. 2016 also saw the return of ‘Cinema nel Giardino’: a non-
competitive section introduced last year that includes different works in terms of genre and duration, whose screenings will be accompanied by meetings with the authors and actors. The event is held outdoors to allow for viewing by non-accredited members of the public. Finally, if you manage to attend one of the exclusive parties held each year at the Excelsior Hotel and happen to run into a woman wearing an evening dress and an ostrich boa who asks you whether you have seen her husband Osvaldo, you’ll know you’ve met the ghost of actress Luisa Ferida, who was shot in 1944, aged just 31, by partisans who unjustly accused her of being a Fascist. She has been seen several times, wandering around the rooms of the hotel. In 2008, director Marco Tullio Giordana dedicated a film to her entitled Sangue Pazzo featuring Monica Bellucci and Luca Zingaretti.

The Lido of Venice 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
Via Gesù
The Lido (meaning beach in Italian) is in fact a separate island from Venice. Measuring less than 200 metres in depth in certain areas, the Lido 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. 18 18 WWHHEERREEVVEENNI CI CEEI I SSEEPPTTEEMMBBEERR22016 016
AT THE SEASIDE, LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A FILM During the Film Festival (from 31 August to 10 September, see previous pages), actors, directors, producers, journalists and stars from all over the world meet at the Lido. Hollywood stars and less wellknown faces on the European or Asian film scene come to walk the red carpet, attend exclusive parties, be interviewed or simply mingle with the crowds. In addition to the promenade, landing stops and, naturally, the Palazzo del Cinema, all classic celebspotting locations include the Lido’s historic hotels. First and foremost, the Excelsior which, in 1932, hosted the very first festival.
A typical setting for video interviews are the Lido’s bathing resorts, with their distinctive ‘tents’ on the beach (the Excelsior’s ‘Moorish cabins’ are world-famous, as are the ‘Tuculs’ of the Hotel des Bains, the unforgettable setting of Luchino Visconti’s Death in Venice). Packed with hordes of visitors during the festival, the resorts, which are much more appealing during the remainder of the year, are great places to spend a fashionable day at the beach. If you prefer a more 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”.
The Alberoni beach is also a part of this protected nature reserve.
as inspiration for poets including Goethe, Byron and Shelley.
WHAT TO SEE AT THE LIDO 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 two kilometers of golden sand dunes that extend from Murazzi to the Alberoni dam, and a beautiful pine forest. 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. Moving to the other end of the island, we find Malamocco, a small, ancient town that offers visitors a mini experience of Venice with its canals, ‘campielli’ and ancient buildings. 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. Located in a strategic position, San Nicolò is situated at the juncture where the lagoon enters the open sea. Also worth a visit is the Jewish cemetery, located ten minutes on foot from the vaporetto docking station. The cemetery dates back to 1386 and has tombstones that date from 500AD to 700AD. Of enormous historic and artistic interest, this cemetery served
WHAT TO DO AT THE LIDO 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. 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. ICONIC LANDMARK On the page at the side, a view of the Lido of Venice as seen by those arriving by boat. Above, a period photograph of the rooms of the Excelsior, the legendary hotel where the first Film Festival was held in 1932. Below, the ‘Murazzi’. PASSION TIP A bike tour is the best way to visit the island. Bicycles are provided by several of the island’s hotels. To recharge your batteries in style, head to the 'Essentiale' restaurant to enjoy a stunning view of St. Mark’s. See page 51.

Welcome Giorgio Armani! All the style, class and glamour of ‘King Giorgio’ shine at his new boutique in Venice, the first Giorgio Armani mono-brand store in the city. By Stefania Vida
F
ashion addicts rejoice! The famous designer has chosen the beautiful city of Venice for his new ‘home’ and has taken up residence in Calle Larga XXII Marzo, in the San Marco Sestiere, an exclusive district to host a boutique that is just as exclusive. Spread over more than 160 square metres, it houses the entire range of Giorgio Armani’s men and women’s prêt-à-porter collections of clothing and accessories… a must-visit destination for those who love fashion and Made in Italy style! This season, in his women’s collections, colours take centre stage both in clothing and accessories: warm and vibrant yet always elegant, they are designed to be worn at all times of the day. 22 W H E R E V E N I C E I S E P T E M B E R 2 016
Where men are in question, Armani has opted for more low-key shades, giving free rein to nuances of blue, green and grey, for a casual yet ultra-stylish look. The style of the boutique deserves a separate mention. Those entering the store will not only be struck by the garments displayed but also by its elegant, minimalist design, in perfect keeping with the aesthetic canons of the brand. It comes as no surprise that its décor carries the Armani/Casa signature: a triumph of platinum finishes, exquisite onyx and marble floors (with different patterns for each room) and wallpaper in shades of gold, silver and aqua blue and green, that mirror the shades of the flooring.

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
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.

Santa Croce Don’t call this establishment a ‘traditional furrier’. Though the Caberlotto family has been dealing in fur for almost a century, its desire to innovate and continually improve its working techniques through research is a strength of which its owners are proud. Expect contemporary, reversible Hundertwasser' Garden garments that never weigh more than one and a half kilos. Its new 2016/2017 collection, complete with accessories, is just waiting to be discovered.

Sun and prescription glasses, the most technologically advanced lenses and the most comfortable, fashionable frames. Located behind St. Mark’s, in the area known as ‘Le Mercerie’, Ottica Mantovani has been a landmark in Venice since 1871. Managed by the Carlon family since the 40’s, it IisS now O L A run D I by the third generation of opticians. It’s not surprising the S A N G that IORG IO shop is a reference point for locals requiring either prescription MAGGIORE eyewear or sunglasses. In fact, one of Mantovani’s most famous customers was Peggy Guggenheim, a woman whose trademark eyewearLemade her instantly recognizable wherever she went. Zitelle

AN ANCIENT VOCATION Chiesa dell’Ospedaletto Venice’s natural ability for trade dates way back in time. Bearing in mind that San Francesco della Vigna each day, whatever the season, the city’s treasures attract thousands of visitors from all over the world, it’s no surprise Lorenzo that every corner ofSanVenice is packed with Santa Maria Formosa Palazzo shops and ‘botteghe’ selling all kinds of Grimani that you try Palazzo merchandise. So, we suggest San Giovanni Querini di Malta Stampaliato be a little selective when shopping. Make sure that you choose a shop that really expresses the soul of the city. San Giovanni Novo Here are a fewSantips for quality shopping. Giorgio

The Rialto Market
La Bottega dei Mascareri
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.

ounded in the 1930s, this legendary bar is renowned for its Bellini cocktails (originally invented here) and for being the favourite haunt, since it first opened, of almost every famous name to visit Venice (including Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles, Truman Capote, Georges Braque and Peggy Guggenheim). Today, it is still a must-visit stopover for anyone visiting Venice, a perfect opportunity to step back in time and savour the slightly retro and incredibly fascinating atmosphere. The venue is open daily from 10.30am to 11pm, and is ideal at any time of day, either for lunch or dinner, but also for a truly trademark aperitivo!
young American student who moved to Venice with his aunt in the 1920s. After two months, Harry Pickering fell out with his aunt, who went away leaving him with her dog and very little money. Giuseppe Cipriani, who was the barman of the hotel where the American was staying, lent him money for his passage home. A few years later, the young man returned to Venice, and, as a sign of gratitude, not only paid Cipriani back the loan but also added an additional sum so that he could open his own bar. Cipriani decided to call his venue ‘Harry’s Bar’ in honour of his young friend, and Harry’s Bar opened on 13 May 1931.
The history of the establishment of this Venetian landmark is definitely worth knowing. The bar was named after Harry Pickering, a

The Bellini’s cocktail For those who know nothing of its origins, the Bellini was invented in 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, the owner of Harry’s bar. Thanks to its pinkish hue, which reminded Cipriani of the colour of the toga worn by a saint in a painting by Giovanni Bellini, he called the cocktail 'Bellini'. The secret ingredients for a perfect Bellini are a mix of a puree of ripe, white peaches and Prosecco or Champagne.

AL GATTO NERO (BURANO) Freshly caught fish and homemade pasta are served at this familyrun trattoria in the heart of Burano. The ‘Gatto Nero’ has been the kingdom of Ruggero Bovo, since 1965. Aided by his wife Lucia, his tireless assistant, who puts a different spin on traditional dishes, and his son Massimiliano, a certified sommelier, Bovo‘s restaurant is reputed to be one of the most famous in the lagoon. “I wanted to be a musician when I grew up,” Ruggero explains, “But I needed to have a steady income and decided to use my creativity in the kitchen.” Must-try dishes include the chef’s famous ‘risotto di Go’ (Goby fish) or his ‘spaghetti alla granceola’ (crab). www.xxxxxx.org Viale xxxxx, 6 www.gattonero.com T: 02 xxxxx Burano - Via Giudecca, 88.

VENICE EXPERIENCE ADVERTORIAL
TRATTORIA FAVORITA (LIDO) Luca Pradel and his wife Gabriella have been running this historic trattoria with passion since 1950, and this passion is not only reserved for celebrities attending the Film Festival! A combination of a family trattoria and a cosmopolitan restaurant, La Favorita pays tribute to Venetian cuisine, especially fish and seafood, with simple dishes that are fragrant and full of flavour. Try the house special, ‘Spaghettoni Leonardo’, pasta with clams and mussels. 'Al fresco' dining is available in summer. Open for dinner only from Monday to Thursday. Lido di Venezia - Via Francesco Duodo, 33. T: 041 5261626.
TRATTORIA DA ROMANO (BURANO) Opened in Burano ‘even before tourism began’, Trattoria Da Romano has been run with love by the Barbaro family for four generations, and it is not an accident that it is listed as one of ‘Italy’s historical establishments’. Creatively decorated, the trattoria is renowned for fish, seafood and risottos. The chef uses fresh, seasonal locally sourced ingredients. Standouts include ‘risotto di Go’ and the chef’s signature mixed grill cooked only over wood. Famous guests who have dined here include Pirandello, De Niro, Stallone, Philippe Starck and Joan Mirò who signed the guest book with a drawing. www.daromano.it Burano - Via Baldassarre Galuppi, 221. T: 041 730030.
TRATTORIA DO FORNI Its owner Eligio Paties considers cooking “a culture, rather than a vocation”. He has managed to make his restaurant a soughtafter destination, distinguished by its wide assortment of Venetian fare, thanks to the quality of his dishes and a genuine sense of typically Venetian hospitality. Expect traditional Italian dishes served in a vibrant ambience. The dining spaces will remind you of the carriages of the legendary ‘Orient Express’ and pay tribute to the history of Venice, acting as a bridge between the West and the East. The restaurant’s name pays homage to history, because one of Venice’s oldest furnaces was originally located here. www.doforni.it Venezia - Calle dei Specchieri, 468. T: 041 5232148.
TRATTORIA DA REMIGIO Owned by Fabio Bianchi, Trattora Da Remigio is located in Sestiere Castello, just behind St. Mark’s Square. Although it was officially established in 1954, rumour has it that the venue has been a trattoria since olden times. This historical venue is a favourite with Venetian foodies, but is also mentioned in international guides. At this small place, with its rustic yet modern, wood-furnished environs, you will find straightforward renditions of Adriatic cuisine, including wonderfully fresh fish, traditional pasta dishes and delicious mixed fried seafood and vegetables. www.xxxxxx.org Viale xxxxx, 6 Venezia - Salizada dei Greci, 3416.

ENTERTAINMENT
Enjoy the 'Bacaro tour'! Soak up the authentic Venetian atmosphere of a classic “Bacaro tour” at one of the city’s backstreet bacari located just steps from the Rialto Bridge… A not-to-be-missed tasting experience. By Stefania Vida
I
t’s evening; you’re done with sightseeing, taken all the customary photos, bought the masks, souvenirs and the whole shebang. Now, dedicate a few hours to the most typical of Venetian rituals: the aperitivo! Finding a place where you can sample delicious ‘chicchetti (small bites or plates of food) and ‘ombre’ (the glasses of wine that Venetians drink to wash down the ‘chicchetti’), or enjoy a classical 'Spritz' can be daunting. But don’t worry, the places suggested below are guaranteed to please. But first, a short explanation of the terminology you’ll need to know when visiting Venice: the bacaro, or bacaréto, is a particular type of Venetian osteria (usually a small bar area), where a wide selection of wines and small snacks (called 'cicchetti') are served. A good place to begin is Al Mercà (San Polo, 213), in the very central Rialto Bridge area, a 10 square-meter tavern where you can enjoy Venice’s classic tuna’ polpettine’ (little meatballs), the ‘sarde in saor’ or tiny white-bread sandwiches, accompanied by excellent wine and beer. The beautifully presented display of ‘cicchetti’ 52 W H E R E V E N I C E I S E P T E M B E R 2 016
at Osteria Dai Zemei (San Polo, 1045/B) will confirm you’re in the right place: more than twenty different varieties of sliced homemade bread, distinguished by their freshness, creativity, inventiveness and culinary research, await you! Across the iconic Rialto Bridge, on the other side of the Grand Canal, tucked down an alleyway, is tiny All'Arco (San Polo, 436): their delicious ‘chicchetti’, based on traditional recipes and made only from the freshest ingredients, are a delightful treat to sample while sipping a glass of wine as you chat, laugh and munch! Around the corner is Cantina Do Mori (San Polo 429). Similar in style to All’Arco, it boasts a warm, welcoming atmosphere that is a must-try if you want to experience a typical Venetian adventure. And finally, Ai Nomboli (San Polo 222717/B) is worth a mention. Don’t be misled by the simplicity of the furniture; managed by the same family for years, everything here tastes special, whether it’s a ‘tramezzino’, a sandwich or a quick meal. Their barley soup and risotti 'al volo' (literally, 'on the fly') are a must.

CONCERT VENUES & THEATRES Teatro Goldoni The Goldoni Theater is the oldest theater in Venice and the fourth most ancient in the city (after the Michiel Theater, the Tron Theater -1581- and the San Moisé Theater -1613). 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. In addition to Verona’s Teatro Nuovo and Padua’s Teatro Verdi, the Goldoni Theater is now managed by the Teatro Stabile di Veneto. ARLECCHINO ON SHOW Don’t miss “Arlecchino Servitore di Due Padroni” based on Carlo Goldoni’s work, with English and French subtitles, until 9 October (every Tues, Thurs, Fri at 8pm and every Sun at 6pm). www. teatrostabiledelveneto.it. San Marco, 4650/B. T: 041 2402011. Vaporetto line 1 (Rialto stop).
Teatro La Fenice
UNMISSABLE Located in the Sestiere San Marco, La Fenice Opera House is the one of the most legendary opera houses in Italy. Twice destroyed by fire (1836 and 1996) and twice restored to its former splendour, for centuries it has been Venice's principal stage for world-class opera, music, symphonies and the International Festival of Contemporary Music. In the 19th century, it hosted the ‘premieres’ of operas by Gioachino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi, while in the 20th century it became a focal point for contemporary productions, featuring world premieres by Igor Stravinskij, Benjamin Britten, Sergej Prokofiev, Luigi Nono and Bruno Maderna and recently also operas by Mauricio Kagel, Adriano Guarnieri, Luca Mosca and Claudio Ambrosini. www.teatrolafenice. it. The theater is generally open daily for tours from 9.30am to 6pm, although variations in the schedule may occur due to artistic or technical reasons. Full ticket: 10 €. The ticket price includes an audio guide, available in 5 languages (Italian, English, German, French and Spanish) as well as the option of visiting the in-house exhibition dedicated to Maria Callas (see Hot dates, page 8).

Teatro Malibran Opened in 1678, during the 17th and 18th centuries, the theatre, at that time known as ‘Teatro San Giovanni Crisostomo’, was mainly famed for its operas. Dripping with elegant ornamentation, it was known as the biggest, most beautiful and richest theatre in the city. Acquired by the City of Venice in 1992, after being restored and enlarged, it temporarily hosted the orchestra of La Fenice Theatre which was destroyed by arson in 1996 (see listing). In 2001, it became Venice’s second largest alternative for opera. www.teatrolafenice.it. Cannaregio, 5873. T: 041 786672. Vaporetto line 1 (Rialto stop).
Teatro San Gallo Unlike other theatres in the city (La Fenice, the Goldoni and the Malibran), the building was constructed in 1924 as a cinema (Cinema Olimpia), only being converted into a theatre in 2007. After various vicissitudes, in October 2015, it began staging musicals and plays with the aim of attracting an international audience and promoting educational activities.
VENICE ON SHOW Every night of the year, “Venezia, The Show” is performed in English (the theatre is equipped with audio guides for other languages), see illustrated box on this page. The theatre is also available for private parties, events, and conferences. www.teatrosangallo.net. San Marco, 1097 (Campo San Gallo). T: 041 2412002. Booking office email: teatrosangallo@gmail.com.

VENETO HOT VENUES Arena di Verona The best-preserved Roman amphitheater in the world and the best known in Italy after Rome's Colosseum, the Arena, the city’s legendary open-air opera house, is located in Verona’s historic centre (115 km from Venice). Each summer, since 1913, it has hosted a famous opera festival featuring must-see performances and internationally renowned stars.

It is the first and oldest covered ‘Teatro Stabile’ in the world. Its interior simulates the outdoor setting of classical theatres, with a monumental rectangular proscenium, built to host its inaugural performance in 1585. Seven wooden perspective scenes depicting the streets of Thebes depart from here in a sunburst pattern. Included in UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1994, it continues to host performances and concerts. www.teatrolimpicovicenza.it. Vicenza, piazza Matteotti, 11. T: 0444 222800. Off Map

An unexpected Venice: a tour of the ghetto Five-hundred years after its inception, the Jewish ghetto of Venice reveals all of its charms By Simona P. K. Daviddi
T
he Jewish ghetto of Venice, the first ever, was established in March 1516. It is located in a secluded Sestiere (neighbourhood) of Cannaregio and is celebrating its 500th anniversary. An interesting fact: the word ‘ghetto’ derives from the Yiddish pronunciation ‘geto’, old Venetian dialect for ‘foundry. This word would soon be used throughout Europe and the world to depict an area where isolated minority groups lived. 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’. Here you can admire ancient synagogues, the ‘schole’ 56 W H E R E V E N I C E I S E P T E M B E R 2 016
(literally schools), each one built for every ethnic-linguist group inhabiting the ghetto, the ‘tower’ houses, and the workshops. You can see the more recent memorials dedicated to Holocaust victims, as well as the writings and engravings describing the obligations that the Jews were forced to observe and the remains of the access points and heavy gates that were used to segregate its inhabitants. In spite of being cut off from the rest of the city, the Jews transformed the ghetto into a place where they could develop Jewish traditions, but one that also represented a melting pot of cultures, which influenced Venetian society. To get an idea of its history, we suggest a visit to the
highly insightful exhibition entitled ‘Venezia, gli Ebrei e l’Europa 1516-2016’ (‘Venice, the Jews and Europe, 1516-2016’) mounted at Palazzo Ducale and scheduled to run until midNovember 2016. The exhibition is not the only initiative scheduled to celebrate this important anniversary: a complete calendar of the events can be found at www.veniceghetto500.org.

ATTRACTIONS & MONUMENTS 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. 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. Vaporetto line 41 and 2 (Redentore stop).
Basilica di San Marco 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. The famous winged lion, a symbol of the city and of the ancient ‘Venetian Republic’ is depicted on its pediment. Inside, a triumphant array of domes and transepts, mosaics and gold, marble and numerous other treasures. You might have to queue for a time to get inside, but your wait will be well worthwhile. Although admission is free, you will have to pay to see several specific sights. In order not to miss your visit, be sure to inform yourself about the opening hours, as they are often subject to change. www. basilicasanmarco.it. Vaporetto lines 1, 2 (San Marco stop).
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. T: 041 5225205. Vaporetto lines 1,2 (San Marco stop).
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 and boat cruises visit www.canalgrande.it, or ask your concierge.
Cannaregio
Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square)
This is one of the most densely populated Sestieri in Venice, and, regardless of where you happen to be staying, this district is well worth a visit. A classic, picture-postcard neighbourhood, it is characterized by labyrinthine streets and canals, gondoliers wearing striped vests, stalls and painters sitting at their easels. Everyone adores Venice on its looks alone, but once in Cannaregio you’ll fall for its personality.
Known throughout the world, this square is the heart of Venice and its most symbolic landmark. It consists of a central, trapezoid-shaped unit integrated with other areas. Measuring 170 metres in length, it faces directly onto the water and is surrounded by several magnificent stately buildings. Its incalculable scenic beauty makes it one of the most widely-photographed places in the world. The best thing to do here is to look around and exult, but don’t forget that the square has a number of specific landmark sites, whose interiors can also be visited: the Basilica of San Marco (see listing), the Bell Tower (see listing), Palazzo Ducale (see Museums listings), the Clock Tower (see listing) and some 18th century cafés, the Florian and the Quadri, to mention the bestknown... Vaporetto lines, 1, 2 (San Marco stop).
Chiesa della Madonna dell’Orto This is one of the largest churches in Venice, and, according to popular belief, is named after a statue of the Virgin Mary which supposedly had miraculous powers. It contains a significant number of artworks, mostly by Tintoretto and Bellini, but also by Titian and Palma the Younger. The complex also houses the smaller church of San Marziale, dating back to before the year 1000. This church can only be visited by booking. Open Mon-Sat 10am-5pm; Sun 12pm-5pm. www. madonnadellorto.org. Cannaregio, 3512. T: 041 719933. Vaporetto lines 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, A (Orto stop).
Chiesa & Scuola Grande di San Rocco A Renaissance complex consisting of a church and adjoining palace, it was built as a sign of devotion to San Rocco who was called upon to protect the plague-stricken population of Venice during the 15th century. The interiors are filled with numerous treasures, including an impressive number of works by Tintoretto as well those by Tiepolo and Giorgione. Opening hours subject to change www.scuolagrandesanrocco.org. San Polo, 3052 (Campo San Rocco). T: 041 5234864. Vaporetto line 2 (San Tomà stop).
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).
Palazzo Ca’ Vendramin Calergi (Casinò di Venezia) Overlooking the Grand Canal, this building houses the oldest casino in the world. An ageold destination, for aristocratic travelers from both East and West, Venice was the first city in the world to open a gaming house way back in 1683. Today its old-world ambience continues to play host to several of the world’s most classical games. The casino is open to everyone aged 18 and over and proper attire is required.
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. The ‘sighs’ from which its name derives are not those of lovers, but those of condemned prisoners, emitted as they were led down to the cells. It can be accessed on a visit to the Palazzo Ducale. Open daily 8.30am7pm. www.palazzoducale.visitmuve.it. San Marco, 31024 (piazza San Marco). T:041 2715911. Vaporetto lines 1,2, (San Marco stop).
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

Scala Contarini del Bovolo Palazzo Contarini is an exquisite, late Gothic building. However, what makes it such a popular attraction today, was the addition, by its architects, in 1499, of an amazing, external ‘bovolo’ (snail-shell) stairwell enclosed in a cylinder perforated like lace.

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.

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 semi-rural 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.

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. It also hosts prestigious temporary exhibitions. www.guggenheim-venice.it

Romeo’s house, with its imposing crenellated walls, is located just a little further on, and the crypt of what used to be the ancient monastery of San Francesco al Corso still houses the young Capulet’s tomb, for centuries, a pilgrimage for die-hard romantics. The Adige river is located just steps away, and a sunset stroll along its shores and over its historical bridges allows visitors to absorb some of Verona’s most romantic, scenic views – the perfect place to fall in love.

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.

This is the place where love meets chess. Standing in the middle of its main square is a huge marble chessboard where every second weekend of September a spectacular chess game is played by people dressed up in costumes, the re-enactment of a historical event dating back to 1454, when two knights who loved the same lady, decided to compete for her in a noble game of chess rather than engaging in a traditional duel. The winner married the girl… while the loser married her sister! Because the lady was secretly in love with the winning knight, she expressed her joy by illuminating the town’s castle, which still dominates the town from the top of a hill. The castle is now a romantic restaurant. DISTANCE FROM VENICE: 95 km
“A city shaped like a Palazzo”: this delightful description given by academic and diplomat Baldassarre Castiglioni perfectly renders the idea of the charms and treasures offered by Mantua. Small and well designed, the city is, first and foremost, an original mixture of history and art. Originally an Etruscan settlement, it achieved its full splendour in Medieval times and, in particular, during the reign of the Gonzaga family, the Dukes of Mantua who conquered the city in 1328 and ruled benevolently until 1707. Important monuments including Palazzo Ducale, Palazzo del Podestà, Palazzo della Ragione and the churches of San Lorenzo (the "Rotonda") and S.Maria del Gradaro also date back to this period. The city is the Italian Capital of Culture 2016. DISTANCE FROM VENICE : 155 km

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, in addition to 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 an authentic Italian Baroque parks, the Garden of Valsanzibio. It has gained international recognition: 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. Until the 19th century,
WELCOME TO THE COLLI EUGANEI Known as the ‘Pearl of the Euganei Hills’, Villa Barbarigo with its monumental garden is located in an area steeped in nature and history, the ideal destination for art lovers and nature enthusiasts. Thanks to the thermal waters of Abano and Montegrotto Terme, the largest spa hub in Europe, the area is a sought-after destination for those in search of relaxing, wellness retreats

Garden of Villa Barbarigo
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 74 W H E R E V E N I C E I S E P T E M B E R 2 016
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. 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!

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

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
76 W H E R E V E N I C E I S E P T E M B E R 2 016
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
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.
