Venice cannot be seen in a day, but unfortunately the majority of people visiting, will be here only for one day.Thankfully Martha Bakerjian choose not to and she wrote this lovely post telling us all about it! Another lovely guest post for The Best memory of Venice…
The posts on the Best memory of Venice keep coming in and I am very pleased that the Best memory which Robin Locker Lacey of My Mélange has taken back is that of food (my best memories are always of our Venetian food) and of the kindness of Venetian people, which many times is overlooked by…
VENEXIA XE BELA FABRICÀ SUL MAR, CHI NON LA POL VEDAR NO LA PO STIMAR (Venice is beautiful, built on the sea, who cannot see it cannot appreciate it) This is a very old Venetian saying and well, who has been to Venice can only agree with this! (For more Venetian sayings you can…
Tomorrow will be another big celebration for Venice: Santa Maria della Salute or Madonna della Salute.Unfortunately I have been extremely busy for the last two week and I really did not have time to sit down and write a porper post about this, but I feel it is right to let you know a little…
Carrying on with our series of posts about which memories people remember the best about Venice, this time it is the turn of Julie Gilley, another Facebook friend, who has travelled to Venice many times but who remembers one in particular: Venice—Not For The Suitcase Laden Traveler!

Venice: The Arsenal Back in May 2010 I was lucky enough to visit the Arsenale in Venice. The Arsenale is usually closed to the public; it is currently used only in small part as one of the venues of the Biennale di Venezia, but for a few days a year, thanks to an event called…

Another year goes by, another hot and sticky summer strolls in through the canals of the lagoon and another major appointment for all Venetians is fast approaching. It is Festa del Redentore (The Redeemer’s Celebration) which this year will take place on July 17th and 18th. This event draws thousands of people to the City…
Yes, I admit it: I am Venetian and I never been on a rowing boat in my whole life! First of all I would like to clarify something: the term Venetian does not apply only to people who are born and live in Venice itself, but also to all of those people who live in…
We just came back from a wonderful day in Venice. The sun was shining, there was a light breeze, there were not so many people around. First we went to visit Casa Goldoni, the birth house of the famous Venetian playwriter. I have to say it was a bit dissapointing (only 3 rooms to see),…
