VENICE

No city compares to Venice.
Its lagoon, its houses between sky and sea, its bridges, its Byzantine domes and the famous gondolas make of Venice a unique city and the most romantic and enchanting place to visit.

Venice and its silence invite us to walk without aim, its sun-dials says Horas non numero nisi serenas or rather I dont tell that serene hours.

Not only its uniqueness takes us here but even the fact that this city is one of the most important cultural and artistic centre of Italy and Europe where the fusion of Est and West is easily guessed.

The city rises on 117 islands, it has 150 canals and 400 bridges; it was founded in 811 and the development of the Republic of Venice took place under the Doges.

In 1204 Venice conquered Constantinople and the new commerce of materials, spices and precious stones, coming from the eastern market, started to develop.

Marco Polo became governor of province in China and came back bringing fabulous riches.

The decline of the Republic and the flourishing of the arts clashed, by painting artists like Tintoretto, Tiziano, Giorgione and Veronese expressed their talent creating the Venetian painting characterized by landscapes rich in poetry and shades.

To visit sites like:

Saint Marco Square, known as the marble living-room with its porticos that house open air cafès and luxury little shops, the Basilica, called the golden church built in XI cent., the Palace of the Doges, symbol of the glory and of the Venetian power, the Bridge of sighs that leaded the Palace to the prisons where Casanova was shut in, the Grand Canal, the water road where 200 marble patrician palaces face, the Lagoon with the islands of Murano famous for its glass factory, Burano known for its laces and Torcello with the Cathedral that houses wonderful Byzantine mosaics,

Will make your journey simply unforgettable
