With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista is both a building complex and a lay brotherhood since 1261. The building gradually enlarged as the importance of the Scuola increased from XIV till XVIII century. The venue can be used for different type of events or visited as a museum. In this way the Brotherhood provides the funds for maintenance and restoration of this heritage.
I was not prepared at all for the beauty and mystery of this place! I chose a guided tour (10 e entrance fee + 5 e for the guide), and it was the best decision, otherwise I would have probably seen the place in 10 mins, missing the magical history behind it. Elena was absolutely wonderful, she speaks perfect English and Italian, and left us speechless while telling us the story of the place, a mix of history, religion, art, politics, war and social habits, it was like travelling back in time and living every detail through imagination, it was an experience that will last in my mind for a long time, and made me curious to discover similar places. Thank you Elena and I hope to see you again soon for another tour!

Located just across the Academia bridge from the Guggenheim Museum, this Palazzo stages various exhibits throughout the year. Most recently, I saw a wonderful Dubuffet show that fit perfectly into the backdrop of this space. Aside from the art, it’s a beautiful palazzo in its own right. I highly recommend this show.
