In this episode of the Venice Talks podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Luisella Romeo, a highly respected professional tour guide in Venice. In this conversation, we explore the many layers that make Venice such a complex, diverse, and endlessly fascinating city.

The Venetian Ghetto and Jewish Heritage

To begin with, we focus on Luisella’s acclaimed tours of the Venetian Ghetto, where history, memory, and daily life intertwine. Through her deep knowledge and personal storytelling, she guides listeners through centuries of Jewish heritage, resilience, and cultural presence. As a result, the Ghetto emerges not only as a historic district, but as a living part of Venice’s identity.

Venice Seen from the Water

From there, our discussion naturally moves toward the water. Luisella’s love for the sea becomes vivid as she shares her experiences sailing aboard her traditional boat. In this context, Venice reveals itself from a different perspective, shaped by wind, tides, and quiet moments on the lagoon. Her stories highlight the city’s deep maritime roots.

Virtual Tours and the Digital Age

At the same time, we explore how Luisella brings Venice to a wider audience through her virtual tours. These experiences allow people from all over the world to discover both iconic landmarks and hidden corners. In this way, technology becomes a bridge rather than a barrier.

Accessibility and Inclusive Tourism

Equally important, Luisella speaks about her commitment to accessibility. Her tours designed for people with disabilities reflect a thoughtful and inclusive approach. By doing so, she ensures that Venice can be experienced by everyone, without limitations.

Looking Ahead: African Influences in Venice

Finally, Luisella offers a preview of her upcoming tours dedicated to exploring African influences in Venice. These itineraries promise to uncover lesser known stories and broaden our understanding of the city’s multicultural past.
