About Venezia

Venezia galleggia su una laguna di oltre cento isole: canali, palazzi e ponti senza auto, dove ogni passeggiata finisce in un luogo inatteso.

Il Canal Grande attraversa la città con una grande S rovesciata, fiancheggiato da palazzi e scavalcato dal ponte di Rialto. Vicino alla sua foce, piazza San Marco riunisce la basilica di San Marco con i suoi mosaici dorati, il Palazzo Ducale, il Ponte dei Sospiri e l'alto campanile di mattoni. Vaporetti e gondole mostrano la città dall'angolazione per cui è stata costruita.
