Jesuit Church – Santa Maria Assunta

I love having a cultural walk through Venice in autumn when the weather is nice: This time I chose the Sestiere Cannaregio, thus the northern part of Venice, where you can also find the first Ghetto. In case you happen to be in the Strada Nuova (direction Saint Mark) at the Santi Apostoli Church, turn...

The largest ceiling painting … in the world

I passed this church at least a dozen of times and never entered it as I always found its doors closed. So, one day, when I found its doors wide open, I decided to finally have a look inside and was astonished when I realized that the pompous interior has nothing to envy to the...

Torcello: Venice’s cradle

Torcello, the neighbor island of Burano and a true oasis of tranquility, is certainly worth a visit and recommended to all „cultural“ and „gastronomic“ gourmets. This may surprise you due to its size (or tininess?) but in case you should visit Burano and instead of eating in one of the touristy osterie, you could have...

Time travel in Piazzola sul Brenta

Gramophones. Typewriters. Hats. Fans. Old publicity posters. Cups. Sterling cutlery. Bikes. You can find pretty anything on these flea markets/antiques markets and actually, for me, it’s always like travelling back in time through human history and going on treasure hunting at the same time. Sure, you’ll also find a lot of junk, but that’s the...

San Lazzaro and the mummy

As I realized during our last visit to San Servolo, when waiting for the vaporetto nr 20, that on the neighbor island San Lazzaro degli Armeni a daily guided tour is offered to the visitors, we decided to visit this former “leprosy-colony”. History San Lazzaro housed till 1182, when Uberto di Sant’Ilario was giving the island...

The Naval History Museum

I can highly recommend everyone interested in (the Venetian) naval history to visit the Naval History Museum (Museo Storico Navale) located just a few steps away from the Arsenale. You will find: canons, uniforms, Roman/Venetian (for instance the Bucintoro, the vessel of the Doge)/Asiatic model ships and, last but not least, real historic gondole “de...

Burano – Lace Island

Burano (not Murano; that’s where the glass is from) is known for its laces (“merletti”) that are still hand-made by the women living on this tiny island. In case you think about bringing a lace-fan/umbrella/… back home I recommend you to visit Burano as you have the chance to buy the real merletti there. According...
