Venice
Every city has its own personality, its own landmarks, and your memories there will pain a special picture of it.
However, there are some places in the world that are special, and that will produce a unique painting in everybody’s life-wall. Venice is one of those cities: it is more than beautiful, and more than charming – it has a special aura, maybe due to the fact that it is sinking, and that the breath-taking façades that reflect in the waters of the Grand Canal seem to have an expiration date.
Maybe, it is also due to the fact that the “acqua alta” (the tides that flood the streets and plazas of the city, especially in autumn and spring) reminds them constantly of that unavoidable end. Or maybe is the fishermen’s city’s charm and the mystery of the Carnival masks – but Venice will be a special trip in your memory lane, so what are you waiting for?
