🚣♀ 2 weeks to go at the Vogalonga. Since 1974 a love declaration for Venice, the #Lagoon, its life and traditions.
Perhaps the biggest ever non competive rowing race, every year thousands gather in Venice with their canoes from all over the world!
And to have an idea how massive this is 👉 watch next video here 🚁

Vogalonga is a rowing regatta in the Italian city of Venice.
During a race held on 11 November 1974 between a group of Venetians, both amateurs and professionals, the idea was born to set up a regatta dedicated to all fans of the Venetian rowing, to revive…

👨🎨31 May 1594. Jacopo Robusti, worldwide known as Tintoretto, passes away in Venice.
One of the most prominent painters of Venice #Renaissance, #Tintoretto was famous for his phenomenal energy in painting which gained him the nickname Il Furioso ("The Furious"). His works are characterised by muscular figures, dramatic gestures and bold use of perspective: his paintings and portraits are held in all most important museums around the world!
In Venice his paintings and frescoes are in the main Palaces, Churches and Museums (Accademia Galleries, La Salute, San Polo, San Cassiano, Ca D'Oro) but 2 places more than others show Tintoretto's fantastic work:
📸 The stunning Church of Madonna Dell'Orto in Cannaregio where Tintoretto is buried (it's also part of my favorite #WalkingTour !)
📸 The breathtaking Scuola Grande di San Rocco in San Polo, considered the "Sistine Chapel of Venice", entirely decorated by Tintoretto, like #Michelangelo did for the Cappella Sistina in #Rome.

🌅🏖🍹Having hosted hundreds, I perfectly know the one thing every traveler is desperately in search for when in #Italy: living La Dolce Vita for a while... like locals do.
Can you think of any place in the world where you can visit in the morning St. Mark and #Rialto, and later enjoy your lunch in a green island 🌳 with an amazing view on the Lagoon like #SantElena, and later walk along the seaside on the #Lido beaches... for miles until its end... and later enjoy your Aperitivo at the #Alberoni while waiting for your boat sailing the amazing South Lagoon back to St. Mark, and later enjoy the sunset on your boat along the Grand Canal !!!
Yes, you can actually live La Dolce Vita in Venice... possibly in summertime, possibly with me 😉
