Venice: An Atmospheric Maze
09 August, 2019
Venice is an atmospheric maze. You're guaranteed to lose yourself (intentionally or otherwise) down labyrinthine side streets away from the city's main drag. En route to a whispered-about restaurant owned by a nonna and nonno, we pass the Piazza San Marco - of silver-screen fame - which appears more and more charming each time we see it.
Rising early the next day, we take a stroll along the water's edge, clouds of morning mist shielding us from snap-happy sightseers. Gondoliers ready themselves for the day, donning furlane slippers and fixing their straw hats decorated with red-and-white grosgrain ribbon.
As we float past Byzantine and Renaissance architecture, and sail by umpteen palazzi and twice as many piazze, the storied city's allure is palpable.
