Venice is the city chosen by lovers who, in a gondola, let themselves be lulled by the water, along the Grand Canal, but it is, first and foremost, art, an art that tells of the splendors accumulated over the years of history of the Serenissima.

The oriental influences, especially Greek-Byzantine, have perfectly blended with the typical styles of the area creating a unique artistic combination of its kind.

Examples of this are the most important monuments such as those in  St. Mark's Square: St. Mark's Basilica, the Bell Tower and the Doge's Palace.

Art lovers can admire, for example, the masterpieces of Tintoretto in the Scuola di San Rocco, or the modern and contemporary works kept in the many galleries or exhibited during the Biennale.

But to enjoy and get to know Venice you have to experience it on foot, getting lost in its tangle of streets and bridges, exploring every corner that will reveal its hidden treasure made up of small craft shops or cafes where you can taste the local specialties.
