Built in the 15th century, this stunning architectural masterpiece has been a symbol of the city for centuries and remains one of the most iconic landmarks in Venice to this day.
This month we will talk about the iconic symbol of Giudecca Island: Molino Stucky and its owner Giovanni Stucky.

Did you know that the word ‘ghetto’ derives from the Venetian word ‘geto’?
In the early Middle Ages, in this part of the city there was an ancient foundry (a “geto” in Venetian) which was used to forge the bombarde, the small cannons of Venetian ships. When, for political reasons, in 1516 the Republic of the Serenissima established by law that all Jews should live and reside here, the population came mostly from Central Eastern Europe and it was precisely because of their pronunciation that the Venetian term “geto” , was crippled into “ghetto” (German read), originating the term we use today all over the world.
Last Sunday we decided to have a visit at the Museum of Basilica di San Marco, and I have to confess you (it’s shameful, I know it đ ) that it was my first time!
We went there at 13 am in order to avoid the crowd, and we were lucky…we entered immediately.
The first thing you see when you entered is this, and what can we say about it? It is amazing!!!
You all know Venice for its architecture, culture, churches and food, but how many of you know Venice beaches? Yes, you can have some relax and tan in Venice, and I’m not talking of Venice Beach in California đ
Let’s see (in our opinion) 5 best beaches in and around Venice!
1. Lido di Venezia

A thin island that stretches for about twelve kilometers, it is bordered at the ends by the ports of San Nicolò and Malamocco, connected to Venice and equipped with roads, with a thirty-hectare pine forest behind of the sea and the Blue Flag which often rewards the cleanliness of the water.
Maybe you all know Lido di Venezia for the International Venice Film Festival, but we can assure you that the beach is very cool too!
As all you know, bathing and swimming in the canals of Venice is severely forbidden. Not only because it’s extremely dangerous for boat traffic, but also because the waters of Venice are basically the drainages of the houses, so it’s really not recommended to have a bath, unless you want to get every possible illness. However, worry not! Venice can offer a really good option, if you want to go the beach, and since it’s not that known by tourists, this area is generally really quiet and relaxing: we are talking about BacĂ n beach, located in the island of Saint Erasmo.

Did you know that Basilica dei Frari (shortly called ‘Frari‘) is the biggest church in Venice?
It is placed in the Campo dei Frari, in the Sestiere of San Polo and it is dedicated to Assumption of Maria.
If you have never been here I suggest to visit it… I always take my friends here and it has always a lot of success, not only for the dimensions, but for the art that it contains.
