Venice in Spring Venice in Spring Venice is a city in Northern Italy known both for tourism and for industry. Venice is also known as "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals" and is undoubtedly a symbol of romanticism in all heads. We arrived at the train station in Santa Lucia and took from there immediately the „Vaporetto“ (the public transport system they use in Venice is a water bus) to the Piazza San Marco – the central landmark of Venice – where you can also see the Doge´s Palace, the Bell Tower and of course the Basilica of St. Mark. This place is full of history, charm, picturesque buildings but of course also one of the most expensive places in Venice.If you have enough time, you can also take a guided tour through this places and learn a lot about all the personalities who passed, lived and contributed to the city´s image you can admire today. After this, of course a ride in a gondola with your partner is the best to complete a wonderful day in Venice. But be advised that this may cost you more than 80 Euros. Another small tip: I went to Venice in spring as my family advised me to not go in summer times as it can be very hot and crowded with tourists and Venice hotels could be very expensive.. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 21/06/2020 The Arsenal of Venice The Arsenal of Venice The Venetian Arsenal has been the very first big ship factory of the city, an extended part of Venice since it was built (around 1200) when many small manufacturing factories were united in one complex. The Arsenal has been very important in the history of Venice: the Republic managed in fact to defend itself militarily with the weapons produced there by the thousands of workers working at the army projects. Today, Venetian Arsenal is under restoration: a part is still used for the Film Festival, other parts are instead gradually reported to use. The Gate of Earth, the monumental entrance to the Arsenal was built in 1500. Its mean should have been the opposition of Venice to the influence of the Turks and the representation of the role of the city as a symbol of Christianity. It is a portal with statues, columns and lions. The lion came from Greece and was brought to Venice as a trophy of war. The restoration of the statues was recently completed. A visit to Venetian Arsenal can represent a different route from the traditional sightseeings of Venice, a location worth to be visited to understand the importance of the Venetian Republic and its great Sea military power. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 28/01/2020 Honeymoon in Venice Honeymoon in Venice For lovers Venice has always been a destination of particular charm: which better setting of Venice to crown a love?

Carnival, shopping, relax, a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. A trip to Venice offers endless possibilities of tourism, each of them thrilling and exciting! Piazza San Marco is undoubtedly the most famous symbol of Venice in the world, the beating heart of this magnificent city. Great and magnificent, Piazza San Marco remains forever in the memory of those visiting Venice, with its magnificent Basilica so loved by all the Venetians Many international artists have made their home of Venice: Lord Byron, for example, used to eat at the Cafe Florian, a prestigious and expensive coffee in City center. Piazza San Marco offers, of course, many eating solutions to the tourists such as cafes, bars, restaurants that can break your gondola rides, museums, monuments visits (including the Basilica and the Doge's Palace): be patient in dealing with long queues and be prepared for unexpected and important expenses, the magic of Venice will be able to pay you back for your efforts!

When I went in Venice for the Carnival, unique show of elegance and refinement, the atmosphere I breathed left me astonished: magic and mistery together with history and tradition are the elements that make Venice Carnival a unique in the world event, an appointement to fully live at least once in a lifetime. The Carnival in Venice goes hand in hand with the mysterious and ancient tradition of an event dedicated to the fun, festivities and pleasure of the people until the official beginning of the Quaresima period. San Marco Square filled with ancient Venetian masks represents the ideal starting point for your carnival day in Venice: a stroll through the channels of the old town in a misty evening is ideal for you to fully enter into the atmosphere that characterizes this fascinating and unique in the world event. I will probably go back to Venice, although not for the Carnival: this experience will anyway remain one of the most personal and satisfying of my Italian trip. An advice: if you are planning to visit Venice in the days of the Carnival remember to book a bed (very expensive in Venice, cheaper outside) a lot of time before: in this period Venetian accomodations are usually always next to sold out. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 21/11/2019 Saint Mark's Square Saint Mark's Square Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It provides the setting for two of the city's foremost buildings - Basilica San Marco and the Doge's Palace. The piazza's most distinctive monuments are the two columns near the waterfront, brought from the eastern mediterranean in 1170. One is topped with the lion of San Marco while the other with St Theodore, one of Venice's patron saints. The area between the pillars was once a place of execution. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/03/2020 Bridge of Sighs Bridge of Sighs One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 17/02/2020 The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Floating between the sea and the lagoon is the very beautiful island of the Lido of Venice. Thanks to the continual coming and going of Ferries it is easy to get to, even by car.

There is the fascination of the lagoon and the priceless heritage of the past. Miles of golden sands offer something for everyone: those who seek the elegance of the celebrated beach huts, those who prefer the simplicity of a deckchair under an umbrella, or the dunes and the Mediterranean flora of the natural beaches.

Venice is a city in Northern Italy known both for tourism and for industry. Venice is also known as "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals" and is undoubtedly a symbol of romanticism in all heads. We arrived at the train station in Santa Lucia and took from there immediately the „Vaporetto“ (the public transport system they use in Venice is a water bus) to the Piazza San Marco – the central landmark of Venice – where you can also see the Doge´s Palace, the Bell Tower and of course the Basilica of St. Mark. This place is full of history, charm, picturesque buildings but of course also one of the most expensive places in Venice.If you have enough time, you can also take a guided tour through this places and learn a lot about all the personalities who passed, lived and contributed to the city´s image you can admire today. After this, of course a ride in a gondola with your partner is the best to complete a wonderful day in Venice. But be advised that this may cost you more than 80 Euros. Another small tip: I went to Venice in spring as my family advised me to not go in summer times as it can be very hot and crowded with tourists and Venice hotels could be very expensive..
The Arsenal of Venice The Arsenal of Venice The Venetian Arsenal has been the very first big ship factory of the city, an extended part of Venice since it was built (around 1200) when many small manufacturing factories were united in one complex. The Arsenal has been very important in the history of Venice: the Republic managed in fact to defend itself militarily with the weapons produced there by the thousands of workers working at the army projects. Today, Venetian Arsenal is under restoration: a part is still used for the Film Festival, other parts are instead gradually reported to use. The Gate of Earth, the monumental entrance to the Arsenal was built in 1500. Its mean should have been the opposition of Venice to the influence of the Turks and the representation of the role of the city as a symbol of Christianity. It is a portal with statues, columns and lions. The lion came from Greece and was brought to Venice as a trophy of war. The restoration of the statues was recently completed. A visit to Venetian Arsenal can represent a different route from the traditional sightseeings of Venice, a location worth to be visited to understand the importance of the Venetian Republic and its great Sea military power. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 28/01/2020 Honeymoon in Venice Honeymoon in Venice For lovers Venice has always been a destination of particular charm: which better setting of Venice to crown a love?

When I went in Venice for the Carnival, unique show of elegance and refinement, the atmosphere I breathed left me astonished: magic and mistery together with history and tradition are the elements that make Venice Carnival a unique in the world event, an appointement to fully live at least once in a lifetime. The Carnival in Venice goes hand in hand with the mysterious and ancient tradition of an event dedicated to the fun, festivities and pleasure of the people until the official beginning of the Quaresima period. San Marco Square filled with ancient Venetian masks represents the ideal starting point for your carnival day in Venice: a stroll through the channels of the old town in a misty evening is ideal for you to fully enter into the atmosphere that characterizes this fascinating and unique in the world event. I will probably go back to Venice, although not for the Carnival: this experience will anyway remain one of the most personal and satisfying of my Italian trip. An advice: if you are planning to visit Venice in the days of the Carnival remember to book a bed (very expensive in Venice, cheaper outside) a lot of time before: in this period Venetian accomodations are usually always next to sold out. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 21/11/2019 Saint Mark's Square Saint Mark's Square Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It provides the setting for two of the city's foremost buildings - Basilica San Marco and the Doge's Palace. The piazza's most distinctive monuments are the two columns near the waterfront, brought from the eastern mediterranean in 1170. One is topped with the lion of San Marco while the other with St Theodore, one of Venice's patron saints. The area between the pillars was once a place of execution. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/03/2020 Bridge of Sighs Bridge of Sighs One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 17/02/2020 The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

The Venetian Arsenal has been the very first big ship factory of the city, an extended part of Venice since it was built (around 1200) when many small manufacturing factories were united in one complex. The Arsenal has been very important in the history of Venice: the Republic managed in fact to defend itself militarily with the weapons produced there by the thousands of workers working at the army projects. Today, Venetian Arsenal is under restoration: a part is still used for the Film Festival, other parts are instead gradually reported to use. The Gate of Earth, the monumental entrance to the Arsenal was built in 1500. Its mean should have been the opposition of Venice to the influence of the Turks and the representation of the role of the city as a symbol of Christianity. It is a portal with statues, columns and lions. The lion came from Greece and was brought to Venice as a trophy of war. The restoration of the statues was recently completed. A visit to Venetian Arsenal can represent a different route from the traditional sightseeings of Venice, a location worth to be visited to understand the importance of the Venetian Republic and its great Sea military power.

Carnival, shopping, relax, a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. A trip to Venice offers endless possibilities of tourism, each of them thrilling and exciting! Piazza San Marco is undoubtedly the most famous symbol of Venice in the world, the beating heart of this magnificent city. Great and magnificent, Piazza San Marco remains forever in the memory of those visiting Venice, with its magnificent Basilica so loved by all the Venetians Many international artists have made their home of Venice: Lord Byron, for example, used to eat at the Cafe Florian, a prestigious and expensive coffee in City center. Piazza San Marco offers, of course, many eating solutions to the tourists such as cafes, bars, restaurants that can break your gondola rides, museums, monuments visits (including the Basilica and the Doge's Palace): be patient in dealing with long queues and be prepared for unexpected and important expenses, the magic of Venice will be able to pay you back for your efforts!

When I went in Venice for the Carnival, unique show of elegance and refinement, the atmosphere I breathed left me astonished: magic and mistery together with history and tradition are the elements that make Venice Carnival a unique in the world event, an appointement to fully live at least once in a lifetime. The Carnival in Venice goes hand in hand with the mysterious and ancient tradition of an event dedicated to the fun, festivities and pleasure of the people until the official beginning of the Quaresima period. San Marco Square filled with ancient Venetian masks represents the ideal starting point for your carnival day in Venice: a stroll through the channels of the old town in a misty evening is ideal for you to fully enter into the atmosphere that characterizes this fascinating and unique in the world event. I will probably go back to Venice, although not for the Carnival: this experience will anyway remain one of the most personal and satisfying of my Italian trip. An advice: if you are planning to visit Venice in the days of the Carnival remember to book a bed (very expensive in Venice, cheaper outside) a lot of time before: in this period Venetian accomodations are usually always next to sold out. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 21/11/2019 Saint Mark's Square Saint Mark's Square Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It provides the setting for two of the city's foremost buildings - Basilica San Marco and the Doge's Palace. The piazza's most distinctive monuments are the two columns near the waterfront, brought from the eastern mediterranean in 1170. One is topped with the lion of San Marco while the other with St Theodore, one of Venice's patron saints. The area between the pillars was once a place of execution. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/03/2020 Bridge of Sighs Bridge of Sighs One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 17/02/2020 The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Piazza San Marco, one of the most beautiful squares in the world Piazza San Marco, one of the most beautiful squares in the world Visiting Venice, how many opportunities for a single trip! Carnival, shopping, relax, a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. A trip to Venice offers endless possibilities of tourism, each of them thrilling and exciting! Piazza San Marco is undoubtedly the most famous symbol of Venice in the world, the beating heart of this magnificent city. Great and magnificent, Piazza San Marco remains forever in the memory of those visiting Venice, with its magnificent Basilica so loved by all the Venetians Many international artists have made their home of Venice: Lord Byron, for example, used to eat at the Cafe Florian, a prestigious and expensive coffee in City center. Piazza San Marco offers, of course, many eating solutions to the tourists such as cafes, bars, restaurants that can break your gondola rides, museums, monuments visits (including the Basilica and the Doge's Palace): be patient in dealing with long queues and be prepared for unexpected and important expenses, the magic of Venice will be able to pay you back for your efforts! If you have not so much time try instead to visit the Basilica and the Palace shortly before closing time: you might be able to enter in time making just a short queue and fully enjoy your visit. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 15/05/2020 The charm and mistery of Venetian Carnival The charm and mistery of Venetian Carnival Visiting Venice is always an incredible experience for any traveler: there is no other city in the world able to give you such sensations and suggestions as Venice is. When I went in Venice for the Carnival, unique show of elegance and refinement, the atmosphere I breathed left me astonished: magic and mistery together with history and tradition are the elements that make Venice Carnival a unique in the world event, an appointement to fully live at least once in a lifetime. The Carnival in Venice goes hand in hand with the mysterious and ancient tradition of an event dedicated to the fun, festivities and pleasure of the people until the official beginning of the Quaresima period. San Marco Square filled with ancient Venetian masks represents the ideal starting point for your carnival day in Venice: a stroll through the channels of the old town in a misty evening is ideal for you to fully enter into the atmosphere that characterizes this fascinating and unique in the world event. I will probably go back to Venice, although not for the Carnival: this experience will anyway remain one of the most personal and satisfying of my Italian trip. An advice: if you are planning to visit Venice in the days of the Carnival remember to book a bed (very expensive in Venice, cheaper outside) a lot of time before: in this period Venetian accomodations are usually always next to sold out. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 21/11/2019 Saint Mark's Square Saint Mark's Square Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It provides the setting for two of the city's foremost buildings - Basilica San Marco and the Doge's Palace. The piazza's most distinctive monuments are the two columns near the waterfront, brought from the eastern mediterranean in 1170. One is topped with the lion of San Marco while the other with St Theodore, one of Venice's patron saints. The area between the pillars was once a place of execution. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/03/2020 Bridge of Sighs Bridge of Sighs One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 17/02/2020 The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Visiting Venice, how many opportunities for a single trip! Carnival, shopping, relax, a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. A trip to Venice offers endless possibilities of tourism, each of them thrilling and exciting! Piazza San Marco is undoubtedly the most famous symbol of Venice in the world, the beating heart of this magnificent city. Great and magnificent, Piazza San Marco remains forever in the memory of those visiting Venice, with its magnificent Basilica so loved by all the Venetians Many international artists have made their home of Venice: Lord Byron, for example, used to eat at the Cafe Florian, a prestigious and expensive coffee in City center. Piazza San Marco offers, of course, many eating solutions to the tourists such as cafes, bars, restaurants that can break your gondola rides, museums, monuments visits (including the Basilica and the Doge's Palace): be patient in dealing with long queues and be prepared for unexpected and important expenses, the magic of Venice will be able to pay you back for your efforts! If you have not so much time try instead to visit the Basilica and the Palace shortly before closing time: you might be able to enter in time making just a short queue and fully enjoy your visit.
The charm and mistery of Venetian Carnival The charm and mistery of Venetian Carnival Visiting Venice is always an incredible experience for any traveler: there is no other city in the world able to give you such sensations and suggestions as Venice is. When I went in Venice for the Carnival, unique show of elegance and refinement, the atmosphere I breathed left me astonished: magic and mistery together with history and tradition are the elements that make Venice Carnival a unique in the world event, an appointement to fully live at least once in a lifetime. The Carnival in Venice goes hand in hand with the mysterious and ancient tradition of an event dedicated to the fun, festivities and pleasure of the people until the official beginning of the Quaresima period. San Marco Square filled with ancient Venetian masks represents the ideal starting point for your carnival day in Venice: a stroll through the channels of the old town in a misty evening is ideal for you to fully enter into the atmosphere that characterizes this fascinating and unique in the world event. I will probably go back to Venice, although not for the Carnival: this experience will anyway remain one of the most personal and satisfying of my Italian trip. An advice: if you are planning to visit Venice in the days of the Carnival remember to book a bed (very expensive in Venice, cheaper outside) a lot of time before: in this period Venetian accomodations are usually always next to sold out. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 21/11/2019 Saint Mark's Square Saint Mark's Square Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It provides the setting for two of the city's foremost buildings - Basilica San Marco and the Doge's Palace. The piazza's most distinctive monuments are the two columns near the waterfront, brought from the eastern mediterranean in 1170. One is topped with the lion of San Marco while the other with St Theodore, one of Venice's patron saints. The area between the pillars was once a place of execution. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/03/2020 Bridge of Sighs Bridge of Sighs One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 17/02/2020 The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Visiting Venice is always an incredible experience for any traveler: there is no other city in the world able to give you such sensations and suggestions as Venice is. When I went in Venice for the Carnival, unique show of elegance and refinement, the atmosphere I breathed left me astonished: magic and mistery together with history and tradition are the elements that make Venice Carnival a unique in the world event, an appointement to fully live at least once in a lifetime. The Carnival in Venice goes hand in hand with the mysterious and ancient tradition of an event dedicated to the fun, festivities and pleasure of the people until the official beginning of the Quaresima period. San Marco Square filled with ancient Venetian masks represents the ideal starting point for your carnival day in Venice: a stroll through the channels of the old town in a misty evening is ideal for you to fully enter into the atmosphere that characterizes this fascinating and unique in the world event. I will probably go back to Venice, although not for the Carnival: this experience will anyway remain one of the most personal and satisfying of my Italian trip. An advice: if you are planning to visit Venice in the days of the Carnival remember to book a bed (very expensive in Venice, cheaper outside) a lot of time before: in this period Venetian accomodations are usually always next to sold out.
Saint Mark's Square Saint Mark's Square Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It provides the setting for two of the city's foremost buildings - Basilica San Marco and the Doge's Palace. The piazza's most distinctive monuments are the two columns near the waterfront, brought from the eastern mediterranean in 1170. One is topped with the lion of San Marco while the other with St Theodore, one of Venice's patron saints. The area between the pillars was once a place of execution. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/03/2020 Bridge of Sighs Bridge of Sighs One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 17/02/2020 The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It provides the setting for two of the city's foremost buildings - Basilica San Marco and the Doge's Palace. The piazza's most distinctive monuments are the two columns near the waterfront, brought from the eastern mediterranean in 1170. One is topped with the lion of San Marco while the other with St Theodore, one of Venice's patron saints. The area between the pillars was once a place of execution.
Bridge of Sighs Bridge of Sighs One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice. scritto da Andrew adams - ultima modifica il 17/02/2020 The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

One of Venice's most famous bridges, il Ponte dei Sospiri, known in English as the Bridge of Sighs, connects the Palazzo Ducale with the Prigione Nuove, i.e. the new prisons of the Doge's Palace. Its name derived from supposed sighs of the criminals who traversed the bridge on their way to the ruthless prisons across the canal. The bridge was built in the 17th century using Istrian stone, carved in a Baroque style. Both its architecture and its purpose are unique in Venice.
The Canal Grande The Canal Grande One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 28/08/2019 A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

One of the best ways to see the wonderful palazzi along the grand canal is to take a vaporetto ride. Grab a seat with a view near the end of the line and enjoy a ride up or down the length of the canal. The ticket will cost you 6.50 Euro, if you don't have a pass, and is a great way to relax and see the sites. Give yourself a second treat and take the same ride at dusk or after dark for another perspective of the palazzi when they're lit up. Best to get aboard near the ends of the line for the full effect. Piazzale Roma and the Accademia stops are good spots.
A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A little Venice: The Isle of Murano A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 24/01/2020 Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

A mini Venice complete with its own Grand Canal, Murano is a separate archipelago of islands located about 10-15 minutes by boat north of Venice. Historically, it was a separate town, but in modern times it merged with the Venice commune. Although inhabited since ancient times, Murano did not emerge until 1291, when Venice forced all of its glass manufacturers to move there due to the high risk of fire. The town developed in a similar architectural plan as Venice, with canals, bridges, churches and palaces. Although the glass manufacturing industry has declined in recent times, it continues to be the island's main industry. Thus, the island is filled with shops selling the world-famous Murano glass in every shape and style. Murano makes a nice excursion from Venice for an afternoon or a day, not only to shop for glass and to visit the glass museum, but also to glance at some of its historic churches.
Rialto's food market Rialto's food market Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 10/04/2020 The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Since 1097, fish and other fresh produce have been sold at this very exchange, known as il Mercato di Rialto. Little has changed since ancient times, for the market receives the hustle and bustle of locals and tourists alike, even if only the locals are there to make a purchase. The location of the market, overlooking the Grand Canal in the area also known as Rialto in the San Polo sestiere, is due to the fact that this was the earliest inhabited part of Venice. The market is divided into two parts, il Mercato del Pesce di Rialto and il Mercato della Frutta e Verdura, for fish and fresh produce, respectively. The fish market is located underneath the building known as la Pescheria, which was built only in 1907 in a neo-Gothic style, as a replacement to a 19th century steel structure. It is well worth wandering into the market one morning and allowing your senses to experience it! Il Mercato di Rialto is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 12 noon.
The Jewish Ghetto The Jewish Ghetto The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/01/2020 Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

The history of Venice is not all about romantic canals and evocative gothic and renaissance art; it has its not so pleasant moments. The former Jewish quarters centered around Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is regarded as the world's first ghetto - in the original sense of the word (not in its present, crime-and-grime associated context). This is where the city's Jews were relocated and locked up at night by the dominant Christian population and where they lived under tight rules, although they were allowed to practice their religion. This went on from the late 1500s to until the late 1700s when the Venetian republic fell, after which the Jews were given their freedom to live in other places in the islands. Today, the campo is surrounded by Museum Ebraico (a museum devoted to Jewish religious artifacts), and four synagogues - Schola Canton, Schola Italiana, Schola Levantina, and Schola Spagnola.
Santa Maria della Salute Santa Maria della Salute Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 23/04/2020 Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Perched at the mouth of the Grand Canal, the great white-domed edifice has occupied a pivotal point on the Venetian skyline for more than 350 years. Santa Maria della Salute was built in 1631 to fulfill a pledge made a year earlier by the Venetian Senate. The vow promised the building of a church in honour of the Virgin should she deliver Venice from a plague that claimed more than 45000 lives - around a third of the city's population. The beautiful, white church stands out lightly on the Canal; visit it as it is a truly beautiful experience.
Venice's Carnival Venice's Carnival If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 17/12/2019 The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

If you have a chance, you must visit Venice during their annual Carnival and have your photo taken with these interesting carnival characters. The Venetian Carnival, or Carnevale, is Venice's response to the Mardi Gras.For ten days before Lent each winter, tourists throng the city to join in the merry-making and participate in the equally many pageants, commedia dell'arte, concerts and masked balls... right until Shrove Tuesday where every merry-making activity seems to come to a sudden halt. Carnevale isn't just exclusively celebrated in Venice. In fact, many such festivities and merry-making occur throughout the Roman Catholic world, including Italy. The term "carnevale" comes from the Latin word for "farewell to meat" and it literally means that. Catholics will traditionally give up eating meats during the fasting weeks leading to Easter.
The Ca' D'oro The Ca' D'oro It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/12/2019 Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

It was built for Marino Contarini, son of Antonio Contarini, Procurator of St Mark in the first half of '400. The previous building was partially demolished and incorporated into the new one. Ca'd'Oro is a very small but beautiful building, another example of Venetian Gothic and Byzantine motifs that typically shows the east. The owner's son, Peter, had to divide the building among his daughters and so the troubled history of the Ca 'd'Oro began. In the eighteenth century it was owned by the Bressa family, while in the nineteenth century it has passed from hand to hand and was the object of profound changes and vandalism. Fortunately, these changes were undone when the baron Giorgio Franchetti bought the building. A new covered stair was built on the model of Palazzo Contarini’s Porta di Ferro. The Well, the first self-employment work by Bartolomeo Bon, is original. In 1916, Giorgio Franchetti gifted the Ca'd'Oro and his collection of masterpieces of Renaissance art to the state, and the building was later converted into a museum. Outward appearance has several points of contact with the Ducal Palace as the shapes of the first floor of the tunnel and the band of embattled crown; they are in fact of the same period. The building is organized around an open court, which is located at the heart of which a marble shaft, an already mentioned work by Bartolomeo Bon. During the works undertaken by Giorgio Franchetti, the patterned marble floor was created in the porch of the ground floor covering 350 sqm. It was Franchetti himself who drew the motifs and used precious stones from ancient Roman times to decorate. Franchetti's collection, housed in the building, includes masterpieces by Mantegna, Titian, Giorgione, Palmezzano, Guardi, Bordone, but there are bronzes and sculptures and other Venetian and Flemish paintings from the collection belonging to the state.
Church of Saint Mary of the Friars Church of Saint Mary of the Friars The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 02/12/2019 The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

The first church of Santa Maria Gloriosa and the adjoining monastery formed the Franciscan friars in the 13th century, having reclaimed the land. At that time it was a small church; in a hundred years it has expanded twice to accommodate the faithfuls. So Campo dei Frari was also built, the place where today stands the Church and also a well of fresh water. The construction work ended at the end of the 15th century and the church was consecrated in 1492 to the name of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. With the arrival of Napoleon the church was stripped and in 1810 the large religious community of the Frari was suppressed. In 1926, under Pope Pius XI it was again a basilica, though a minor one. The basilica is rich in works of art, including two paintings of Titian, of which the best known is the altarpiece of the Assumption. But there are paintings and sculptures of the most popular masters of Venice: Bellini, Bartolomeo Bon, Rizzo, Veneziano and Sansovino. Here lie many Doges, but also city prosecutors Antonio Canova and Titian himself. There is a beautiful double choir, based on the existence of two opposing bodies, typical of the style of music in Venice of centuries XVI and XVII. These historical organs are the only ones still operating in the history of Venice and is among the few ones in Italy.
The Academy The Academy In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/03/2020 Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

In the Fall of 1750, following the decision of the Senate, the Academy opened its doors to the prestigious school with 36 teachers, which were chosen each academic year for the four core subjects. These were "figure", "sculpture", "portrait", "landscape", to which it was added in 1768 "perspective and architecture." The purpose of the institute was not only to train 'professional' artists at the highest level but also to restore, preserve and safeguard the public works of the Serenissima. From this motivation it was born in 1777 thanks to Academician Peter Edwards "the authentic restoration of the Charter before its time", contributing at the latest, to the "Establishment of a Formal Public School” to restore damaged paintings. In the meantime, the "Venetian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture" continued to grow and in 1807 it was reformed in the "Royal Academy of Fine Arts”. Needing more space, the institute moved to the former convent, church and school of St Mary of Charity, the work of Andrea Palladio. The institute has accumulated a huge amount of works of art especially for educational purposes, manuscripts, plaster, cardboard boxes of his pupils, who formed the nucleus of its collection. This heritage has increased continuously over the years, through donations of collectors, enthusiasts private subjects and public institutions. After the fall of the Serenissima churches and palaces were stripped and this temple of art was a "haven" for the works which may be lost. The museum now houses the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the fourteenth century, from Byzantine and Gothic to Renaissance artists, like Bellini, Carpaccio, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto and Titian, to get to the painters of the eighteenth century like Giambattista Tiepolo, Canaletto, Guardi, Bellotto. All artists who influenced the history of European painting. In 2004 the Academy moved its headquarters in the former Hospital for Incurable Diseases, in the Dorsoduro district, while since 2005 works are underway in the church Santa Maria della Carità to expand and make available display space. So at the end of the work we will see on an area of 12,000 sqm all the works which were stored so far for the lack of exhibition halls.
Cannaregio Cannaregio The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/04/2020 Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

The main waterway is the Cannaregio Canal, which e connects the Grand Canal and the lagoon. It is the only channel inside the old town, over the Grand Canal, where the boats can pass. And it is only crossed by two bridges, of which one is the Ponte dei Tre Archi, the only bridge with three arches remained in Venice. But also the other is very interesting, the Bridge of the Spires. From a " covered-porch" at the foot of this bridge you can reach the Jewish Ghetto, where you can still see the iron hinges of the doors that once closed the Ghetto at night. Cannaregio is the name that can be attributed inter alia to the fact that here, during low tide, flowed a river called Marzenego, where today lies the channel Canareggio. In the eleventh century, the district is mentioned as Canareclo. Under the Hapsburg domination in the nineteenth century, the first land link between Venice and the mainland was built, with the station of Saint Lucia. Cannaregio has always been a historic popular and red district, even infamous for the presence of many offenders. Luckily later it was upgraded and renovated, new residences were built. The main street of the entire district is the wide road journey from the station of Saint Lucia in Rialto. Here you can see the beautiful church of Santa Maria degli Scalzi, but there is also the first Renaissance church in Venice, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli. And also the Campo dei Mori, with figures of people died near the doors of the palaces.
Palazzo Ducale Palazzo Ducale There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 25/02/2020 The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

There is no definite information of how it was this building that stood in place of the palace, but it was a kind of fortress with massive walls and towers. It was isolated by a canal and there were public post offices, the courthouse and the prison, the residence of the Doge, stables, armories, and more. The structure we know today was built during the fourteenth and fifteenth century and today the building is the most attractive and evocative of the Venetian Gothic architecture, though it was constantly changed during the following centuries, with input from the enlargement , restoration and landscaping. Antonio da Ponte and architects as Andrea Palladio, Titian and Veronese, as painters, were called to the work of the interior. Porta della Carta, by Bartolomeo Bon, takes you to the monumental Renaissance-Byzantine style courtyard, built in the 16th - 17th century, very elegant, solemn and magnificent. Here we find the Scala dei Giganti by Antonio Rizzo, the symbol par excellence of the United Republic. The two giants of Sansovino flanking the staircase are Mars and Neptune, which are the omnipotence on earth and the sea, the Serenissima. Here, on this staircase, leading to the balcony inside the main floor, the ducal coronation took place. On the floor of the lodges there were a number of minor areas for the administration and the services of the building, in addition to the Lower Ducal Chancellery , part of the archive. Here is also set the Hall of Censors, with paintings by Tintoretto and the Avogaria Hall of the Commune ( the lawyers for the municipality), that allow access to the Bridge of Sighs. On the first floor, which is accessible through the Scala d'Oro, the ducal apartments and other halls were located. The Grand Council is the main hall of the palace, situated on the corner of the pier and square. I t is very large, of about 53 to 25 m and 12 m in height: it had to accommodate the members of the Great Council, which had more than 1200 people. The hall was decorated by Veronese, Tintoretto and the young Palma. The entire back wall behind the Heaven throne is the largest canvas in the world, a work by Tintoretto.
The Square of Saint Mark The Square of Saint Mark Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 31/12/2019 The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

Its appearance is the result of projects more and more consciously by the City itself over the centuries. Here was located the high power for over a millennium. At the same time, it was the meeting point between different people, sharing the history of the Serenissima. This is the largest and actually the only Town Square; by definition, the squares of Venice are called "fields" (campi). The Piazza San Marco was a field at the beginning of the city, where the population grew vegetables and it was bordered by the Rio Batario, buried in the twelfth century. With the arrival of the relics of San Marco in Venice in 828, the Piazza starts to assume the role of the "heart of the City". Where today stands the Piazzetta San Marco, next to the Palazzo Ducale, the Piazza was the basin. An architectural proof of this fact is the ancient walled port of water, access turned on the water, typical of Venetian buildings. In the twelfth century, after the burial of the Rio Batario, also the basin was buried to build the Piazzetta, where the columns coming from Constantinople were placed in San Teodoro and San Marco. These changes were characterized by the awareness of the monumentality and superiority of the Venetian Republic. This had to be the "facade" of Venice: it had to welcome newcomers and salute those heading back home, leaving them with their mouths open. In the mid-15th century the Old Procuratie were built and, at the beginning of '500, the famous clock tower was built by Codussi. The architect Jacopo Sansovino, the builder of the Library, then completed the monumental aspect of the square. The bell tower, another symbol of the city, was completed in 1514. Towards the end of '500, the city council decided to beautify the south side of the square; the work was entrusted to Scamozzi. These were the New Procuratie. The domination of Napoleon gave its final appearance to the Square. The New Procuratie were built, also known as the Napoleonic Wing, the symbol par excellence of the fall of the millennial power of the Serenissima.
The Bridge of Sighs The Bridge of Sighs In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 20/01/2020 Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

In the second half of the sixteenth century Antonio da Ponte ordered the construction of new prisons, which were built in 1600 by Antonio Contin. Up to this time, Palazzo Ducale had hosted, in addition to the apartment of the Doge, the seat of the government and the courts, even prisons. These were located on the ground floor, right and left of the Gate of Wheat. The construction of these new prisons, connected to the Palace with the subsequent completion of the Bridge of Sighs, had the intention to improve the living conditions of prisoners with larger cells, more light and air. The outcome of this attempt, however, was not very succesful. The bridge was built in 1614 by the architect Antonio Contin in baroque style, you can recognize the emblem on the facade commissioned by the Doge. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Halls of Judge of the Laws and the other connects the prisons to the Sale of the Avogaria and to the parlor. Apart from the gondolas, you can seen it and photograph it from the Ponte della Canonica and Ponte della Paglia, the pier of Palazzo Ducale.
Ponte di Rialto Ponte di Rialto The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 03/04/2020 Accommodation All (100) B&B (22) Campings (6) Hotels (65) Residence (4) Touristic village (3) Villas and holiday apartments (3) BAUER IL PALAZZO Venice Gio' & Gio' Venice - Bed And Breakfast Venice ALBERGO DEL'ALBORO Venice Ca' Pagan Venice La Rosa Dei Venti Venice La Rosa dei Venti is located in Venice, in Riva San Biasio, on the scenic road that goes along Saint Mark's Basin (the water basin in front of Saint Mark's Square) starting from Saint Mark's Square all the way to the Biennale Gardens, the venue for the Biennale Arte and Biennale Architettura exhibitions.

The very first step on the Grand Canal was a boat bridge built in the twelfth century by the same architect of the columns on the Piazzetta San Marco, Nicolò Barattieri. The name of this bridge, called Ponte della Moneta, was due to the presence of the Mint, which stood at east, toward San Marco. The economic and commercial life of the city in this era was focused here, in the area known at the time Rio Alto. At around 1250, it was replaced by a wooden bridge structure that opened at the top to allow the passage of ships in the Canal Grande. This was rebuilt several times after the various fires that devastated the city. During this time the bridge was named the Rialto Bridge, an integral part of the market life. In the first half of the fifteenth century along the sides of the bridge, there were built two rows of shops. The first stone bridge in Istria rose in ‘500, when the Venetian authorities made a contract for the renovation of the Rialto Bridge. Famous architects such as Jacopo Sansovino, Andrea Palladio and Vignola, presented draft pf classical approach, with several arches, which were judged not suitable. The race was won by Antonio da Ponte, and the bridge, very similar to the previous wooden one, was completed in 1591. The two banks of the Canal were reinforced in order to provide due support to the arches. 6000 oak poles were placed in the ground on each side to support the heads. The arch of the Rialto bridge has an height of 7.50 meters with a span of 28 meters, divided into three tiers with walkways, with two rows of shops. It still is one of the commercial and financial centers of the city; today the tourists spend fortunes in the "souvenir shops" of the bridge - symbol of the Serenissima.
