Curious about which tours and experiences in Venice for blind or visually impaired travelers? Here are my proposals : www.seevenice.it/en/tours-for...

W la resistenza, W il 25 aprile, W la liberazione 🌹

Nocda.com is the website where you can download your entrance code for Venice for free. If you are a day tripper, the city council of Venice established a fee against which many residents decide to rebel. Venice is not a museum and a fee won’t be a solution against over tourism

I believe personalised tours make you a happy traveler and bring higher respect to the city you will visit. That’s why you won’t find me on booking engines. Here I share the post of a colleague tourist guide from Rome I 100% agree with: afriendinrome.it?p=3584 And you, how do you plan your trips?

Venice ceramics tradition is quite amazing, also because its history is still mysterious. Here is my new blogpost: www.seevenice.it/en/ceramics-...

Ten years ago I started my blog, a great way to let travelers know about the amazing diversity of Venice and for me to keep on studying and exploring the wonders of Venice, a city I feel really lucky to live in: www.seevenice.it/en/blog/

Winter views of the Venetian lagoon near Torcello island. Just enchanting. A restful moment.

On December 27 in Florence, Venice and more Italian cities, residents have applied stickers and vandalized key boxes, protesting against short term rentals. In Venice the motto was “Your home was my home”.

That’s funny. BlueSky considers a watercolor featuring David by Michelangelo “content for adults” and has hidden the photo I attached 🫣

Do you know the Bevilacqua La Masa exhibit space in St Mark’s square in Venice? Right now a wonderful opportunity to see the work by Andrei Esionov entitled “Strangers”, until January 6, 2025. Free entrance

Great news. Maybe we can do this in Venice, too?

A fish farm in the northern lagoon of Venice at sunset. Venice and its lagoon won’t survive the one without the other. A natural environment which has always been artificially protected or endangered by human decisions.

Tomorrow is the last day you can visit the Venice Art Biennale. Have you been? Did you like it? Here in the photo the monument to the partisan woman by Augusto Murer, 1969, lying next the Biennale Gardens to remember the sacrifice of many women fighting for the liberation from nazi-fascism.

My first post could not but be a sign of hope. Tomorrow Venice celebrates the Salute Health festivity and after years of restoration, the church welcomes a choral sign of peace and hope.
