Art in Venice | Claire Gervat | Italy, Veneto, Venice
We drank in the view of Venice’s famous landmarks as it grew sharper and sharper – more Canaletto than Turner now – and longed for the moment to last for ever
Crime and Seduction in Venice | Julie Miller | Italy, Veneto, Venice
Within five minutes of arriving in Venice, I had bruised my knee, dropped my laptop computer, broken the heel off my shoe and my mother had been robbed. It certainly wasn’t what I expected from a city known as "La Serenissima".
Do Oar Die: The Venice Regatta | Marc Zakian | Italy, Veneto, Venice
Nobody does boats like the Venetians. Rome has Popes, Florence the Renaissance, but Venice’s story is her water and the plenitude of craft that navigate it
Fishy Business on the Rialto | Mary Lussiana | Italy, Veneto, Venice

The Other Venice | Jasper Sharp | Italy, Veneto, Venice
There are in fact two cities in northern Italy called Venice...One is the Venice of the tick-box tourist. Its twin, a reticent and less tawdry relative, is quite the opposite; a city known only to a few, but loved without exception.
Venice | Vitali Vitaliev | Italy, Veneto, Venice
Yes, let’s face it: Venice is geriatric and slowly dying. This 800-year-old town-sized toy was never intended to last that long. Its founders built this baroque equivalent of Disneyland for their own delight and hedonism, without giving much thought to the future
Venice: Arts and Crafts | Sean Thomas | Italy, Veneto, Venice
