My new blogpost is online and it’s about a contemporary female painter Luse aka Luana Segato. She works with pigments, fabrics, some yarn and a needle, combining the ancient technique of cut work embroidery and traditional painting to describe Venice and its waters: www.seevenice.it/en/luana-seg...

Venice in the Renaissance was the city where the concept of the human body changed, introducing interest for
diversity, desire and modification. Enjoy my blogpost on the current exhibit at the Accademia Galleries in Venice, Modern Bodies: www.seevenice.it/en/modern-bo...

Nocda.com is the website where you can download your entrance code for Venice for free. If you are a day tripper, the city council of Venice established a fee against which many residents decide to rebel. Venice is not a museum and a fee won’t be a solution against over tourism

No CdA

Venezia non è un museo! Venezia non è a pagamento!

I believe personalised tours make you a happy traveler and bring higher respect to the city you will visit. That’s why you won’t find me on booking engines.
Here I share the post of a colleague tourist guide from Rome I 100% agree with: afriendinrome.it?p=3584 And you, how do you plan your trips?

What is the connection between the “pala d’oro”, the most important jewel ever produced by Venetian civilization and a majestic crown sold to Sultan Suleyman by Venetian goldsmith Caorlini? This is a story of gems, gold and politics you can read in my new post: www.seevenice.it/en/a-story-o...

What kind of jewelry Venetian women were wearing in the past? And how is the goldsmith tradition in Venice doing now? In my new blogpost: www.seevenice.it/en/jewelry-a... you can read about sumptuary legislation, pearls and gemstones in Renaissance as well as more “pop” jewels.

Jewelry and Gemstones in Venice in the past and today - SeeVenice

Goldsmiths in Venice created precious jewelry with gemstones for the wealthy and the "manin" gold for the less rich. And what about today?

On December 27 in Florence, Venice and more Italian cities, residents have applied stickers and vandalized key boxes, protesting against short term rentals. In Venice the motto
was “Your home was my home”.
