Venezia, always in the hearts of tourists from all over the world
Updated
In this small lagoon town, over 270,000 inhabitants live. It is situated in the northeast of Italy and overlooks the Adriatic Sea.
Venice is divided into Sestieri. Three of these (Castello, San Marco, and Cannaregio) are located near the Grand Canal, taking Piazza San Marco as a point of reference. The other three (Santa Croce, Dorsoduro, and San Polo-Rialto) are located on the other side. These six subdivisions of the city are represented in the “Ferro” (the front of the gondola – metal boats typical of the city – which has precisely six points/lines). The rear of the craft represents the Giudecca island, which is located right in front of Piazza San Marco.
Of course, Venice, the capital of Veneto, is a unique city categorized as a heritage of humanity by UNESCO. There are no roads but only canals and rivers navigable by small boats (Gondole).
Historically it was called the Dominant or even as the Serenissima. In fact, it has been for over a millennium the capital of the Republic of Venice.
The old city lives mainly from tourism but also from local manufacture and crafts. Just think of the beautiful Murano glass (a small island in the lagoon of Venice). Moreover, for the most recent city located inshore, it has a flourishing business and is a point of reference for the economy of the country.
Venice offers many opportunities within the tourism industry and food for a variety of factors: history, culture, romance, shopping, and entertainment.
In particular, those who want to visit Venice for a few days should not miss some areas and traditions that make the visit to the city unique and unforgettable:
• Piazza San Marco is considered the core of Sestriere and the heart of the city (the only open space considered Square), where there are the most important monuments: Palazzo Ducale and Basilica of San Marco.
• Ponte di Rialto: The oldest bridge that crosses the Grand Canal.
• Lido di Venezia: Very characteristic because it is a thin island that extends for more than 10 km in the Venetian lagoon and Adriatic Sea. In this narrow strip of land there is also Venezia beach.
• Museo Ca’ D’oro: A well-known palace situated along the Grand Canal which contains Giorgio Fianchetti gallery.
• Gallerie dell’Accademia: Located in Dorsoduro and retain some beautiful works by Giovanni and Jacopo Bellini, Tiziano, and Tintoretto.
Among one visit and another, take a rest in an inn or an outdoor bar and enjoy a Recioto di Soave (white wine typical of Veneto region) with sliced polenta veneta.
