I think of the first time I stepped foot on Italian ground – stepping out of the Venice train station after a lifetime of anticipation going to Italy – I was nervous that it would not life up to the lofty expectations I had built up in my mind. but as I stepped out of that station into the bustling world of venice before me, boats whizzing by, and felt the general air of excitement and passion around me, I knew at that moment my life was different. And it sure has been!

Sitting next to a canal, eating cicchetti, drinking spritz, and watching the world float by

What is the first thing I think of when I think of Venice? Footsteps, growing louder as they approach, while you’re standing at the end of an alley having made a wrong turn again! My first visit to Venice was during a November many years ago: most tourists were gone, students had just finished exams, and the streets and canals were eerily quiet. It was cold, but I love that Venice.

Thanks for running this contest, Monica! See you on Twitter!

Orsoni. And Orsoni. And Orsoni.

As a mosaicist, the first thing I think of is Orsoni: the Smalti, the classes, the art, and the Domus. Coming to Venice is on my short list of things I MUST DO. I also cherish the idea of being in such a beautiful city, and enjoy daydreams imagining myself there!

Venice is Orsoni´s. The wonderful mosaic decorated rooms and galleries, the factory with the smalti library, the garden – and foremost the mosaic course: Working with mosaics almost 20 hours a day with other mosaic lovers – and wanting to do it again and again. (Except when eating at “Bea Vita”!)

Ok…not a woman but I do love Venice. My first thought…with each bit of spray that I feel on my face as my “taxi” approaches Venice from the airport, I feel the happiness within me build because I will dry off that spray when I arrive at my favorite place place on earth.
