VENICE:
"romance on water"
It’s just like in the movies: the doves flutter over St. Mark’s
Square and the Canale Grande glistens in the sunlight.
The Queen of the Adriatic will enchant you with her narrow alleyways
and little shops.
The display windows entice you with Italian specialities, chic shoes
and mysterious masks. And if you take a gondola ride, the gondolier
will tell you interesting stories about the life of the Venetians.
You really must visit the Galleria Franchetti which
took its name from the baron of the same name: the painting collection
includes the famous “Venus” by Titian
and “The Proclamation” by Carpaccio.
Peggy Guggenheim has a gallery in Venice too: in her former villa
with garden on the Canale Grande, you can view 20th century masterpieces
by Chagall, De Chirico, Kandinsky, Klee and Magritte.
Germanwings will fly you to “La Serenissima”,
the one hundred and seventeen little islands with four hundred and
nine bridges and a hundred and fifity canals.
There’s no better way to start off your Italian holiday.
From Venice, it’s only a stone’s throw to Verona or
a relaxing beach holiday in Jesolo or Lido.
