Enjoy Venice in every sense
Last Monday we had a call with two founders of Cocai Express, a new food delivery start up born in Venice during the lockdown with the aim of helping local restaurants to deliver food for Venetian citizens.
Don’t be scary, you’ll not receive your food through seagulls (in this case I don’t think that you’d receive anything đ ), but Cocai runners are guys that will take you the food that you’ve ordered through the App.

We are almost there, just a few days remain before one of the most important events in Venice: the Carnival.
Have you ever been in Venice during the Carnival? It is a very fun and amazing experience. The city is like a huge party, with people playing music on the âcalliâ, at the sides of the bridges, into the Bacari (as you know, they are a sort of small pub). Also, during Carnival, people wear amazing costumes (because during the Carnival you can be whoever you desire to be)… in other words⌠IT IS A BIG PARTY!
December may not seem the best month to visit Venice.
The weather is very cold, temperatures are around 0 degrees the whole day. The wind and the humidity of the area donât improve the overall situation.
