What better destination for a vacation that combines romance and art than Venice? A city par excellence chosen by lovers who, transported by a gondola, let themselves be rocked by the movement of the waters along the Grand Canal, passing under the arches of the Bridge of Sighs or the Rialto Bridge.
However, Venice is above all art, an art that has reached our days telling the splendors accumulated over the years of history of the Serenissima. Eastern influences, especially Greco-Byzantine, have perfectly blended with the typical styles of the territory creating a unique artistic combination. Examples include the most important monuments such as those present in St. Mark's Square: the Basilica of St. Mark, the Bell Tower and the Doge's Palace.
Art lovers can admire, for example, the masterpieces of Tintoretto present in the Scuola di San Rocco, or investigate the meanings contained in the modern and contemporary works housed in the many galleries or exhibited during the Biennale.
But take a piece of advice: to fully enjoy Venice, you must experience it on foot, getting lost in its maze of streets and bridges, exploring every corner that - do not fear - will reveal its hidden treasure made of small artisan shops or little places where you can savor the local specialties.
