San Gregorio Art Gallery view hide
San Gregorio Art Gallery is found in one of the most suggestive, exclusive and artistic areas of Venice, a few steps from the baroque church of Santa Maria della Salute and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The Gallery was created in 1996 and it immediately distinguished itself from other galleries thanks to its exceptional exhibitions. These present clearly the passion for the “abstract” expression in art, with artists such as Santomaso, Vedova, the Venetian Spacial Movement with Gaspari, Gasparini, Finzi, Bacci e Morandis

Piazza San Marco view hide
One of the most famous and beautiful squares in the world, Piazza San Marco is at the heart of the historic city of Venice, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. St Mark's Square is called a piazza and not a campo to distinguish it from the other city's squares and to emphasis its singular beauty. The square was paved in herringbone-pattern bricks: this was in fact the original paving style that used to line the streets and squares of Venice. The present-day paving stones date from 1723. Enclosed on three sides by the arcaded buildings of the Procurators, it was once a remarkable showcase for feasts, ceremonies, tournaments and fairs.

Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art view hide
With the issue of the patriarchal degree in 1976, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art began its activity, putting on exhibition pieces of artwork that had either been removed from the numerous Venetian churches, which by that time were no longer open for worship or undergoing restoration, and were therefore closed to visitors. Now, thirty years later, the Diocesan Museum has become a cultural institution for the Diocese, as a home for both permanent and temporary exhibits and other cultural events.

La Fenice Theatre view hide
Inaugurated in 1792, almost entirely destroyed by fire in 1836, and again recently in 1996, the Teatro La Fenice was the most important theatre in Venice and one of the most elegant ones. Visiting La Fenice Theatre is a unique experience to discover it outside the normal institutional activities. The visit among the plasters and the golds of the prestigious halls allow you to discover the unknown secrets of the Theatre and its protagonists, living the history from its origins to the present days all over again.

Murano Island view hide
The inhabitants of Altino, escaping from barbarian invasion, find refuge in the islands of the lagoon, giving them the names of the six doors of the city: Murano, Mazzorbo, Burano, Torcello, Ammiana e Costanziaco. Murano Island - A Glassmaker's Paradise. Since 1291, this tiny Venetian island has been the home of Venice's glassmaking industry. Glassmaking has quite an exalted tradition in Venice, and is considered to be one of the most important forms of art. Murano is usually described as an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although it is actually an archipelago of islands linked by bridges. It lies about a mile north of Venice and is famous for its glass making, particularly lampworking. It was once an independent comune, but is now a locality of the region of Venice. Today it is a significant tourist attraction, and it is easily accessible by vaporetto, the public water bus or by a private motor boat taxi. The glass museum is one of the main attractions of the island. There is also a Modern and Contemporary Museum, which features more current glass.
