"Without streets and vehicles, the uproar of wheels, the brutality of horses, and with its little winding ways where people crowd together, where voices sound as in the corridors of a house where the human step circulates as if it skirted the angles of furniture and shoes never wear out, the place has the character of an immense collective apartment, in which Piazza San Marco is the most adorned corner".

Henry James, The Aspern Papers

The rising water

In the fall, especially in October and November, it very often happens that the tide rises and the water overflows the banks of the canals, flooding the city: the foundations, the alleyways, the fields, the ground floor of the houses, the churches and the shops. The rising water is a problem for the Venetians but it is an unusual, exciting experience for tourists as it is a unique event. Seeing Piazza San Marco flooded by a still lake of water is most certainly a unique, magical moment, which has been immortalized several times over the years by famous photographers.

The names of the calli, campi and campielli (lanes, squares and little squares in Venice)

The Venetian Calli have unusual names that are usually either taken from the city's history or from an event that took place right on the very spot, or from the jobs of the people who lived in that lane or square. The names of the streets are written on small white squares that are placed on the outside of the buildings and that are called "nizioleti" (tissues).

Gondolas

Gondolas are one of Venice’s most famous symbols worldwide. This typical Venetian boat is extremely ancient and is the result of a series of extremely complex craft techniques. A gondola is 11 meters long and weighs 600 kilograms. In spite of its considerable weight it is quite ease to maneuver by just one person using a single oar. We recommend you visit the Squero (boatyard) at San Trovaso where gondolas are still made today by the master craftsmen using the ancient techniques.

Zen Café

Exclusive Oriental-themed non-smoking restaurant and lounge bar - clearly a place where your health comes first. The main bar and dining area is done up in blonde wood and clean minimalist lines, with rows of high backed wooden chairs and squat stools lining a row of narrow bucket tables along one wall. Waiters dressed like Zen monks deliver delicious Italian dishes and succulent sushi to the trendy thirty- something clientele, and behind the bar a woman in a Kimono looks as if she’s straight off the set of some Kurosawa film. Add sculptures, modern art and a Zen Café DJ soundtrack a la Buddha Bar, and you will feel you’ve been Feng Shui-ed.

Masks are the mainstay and foundation of Carnival of Venice, whose long storied (and sordid) past dates back to 1268. Indeed, this is your chance to wander around Venice in fancy finery sporting a mysterious (and kinda freaky) Venetian mask like the ones we know from all those period films. Also, various palaces hold masked balls and galas where splendid period costumes, wigs and masks are the order of the night. For the week and-a-half-before Fat Tuesday, a multitude of events, focusing on the arts like ballet, music, theater, and circus take hold of famed St. Mark's Square. Thousands of revelers get the chance to experience the beautiful life of Venetians of 300 years ago. This is truly a spectacular event.
