Madonna dell’Orto

„Don’t you have any respect for God’s holy places, oh Devil? You’re powerless against God’s justice and the faith of his people!” That’s what Isabella Contarini, during the consecration of the Church Madonna dell’Orto in 1366, said to the young mason Paolo Delle Masegne who worked together with his father (Jacobello) and his uncle (Pietro...

Il Santo Bevitore: The Holy Boozer

Some of you may be wondering about all the people chitchatting, a beer in their hand, on the bridge behind Campo Santa Fosca. The reason for this crowd is the pub Il Santo Bevitore: as most other bars in Venice it’s not very spacious inside and thus the guests simply have a drink outside at...

Eine sehr persönliche und interessante Führung, die auch Raum für Fragen gelassen hat. Beatrice kannte sich ausgezeichnet in der Geschichte Venedigs aus und hat es auch für die Kinder toll,... read more
