The pupils of the Morosini School often embark for training, also on the Italian historical vessel πŸ‘‰Amerigo Vespucci that comes to Venice every year, open for visiting.

πŸ“œ It's always fun when I take American guests in my #WalkingTour in Venice and I tell them "We're starting from the Ghetto"...
Their reaction is always the same: "I don't wanna go to the ghetto" 😱
Why?
From Wikipedia: "Ghettos in the United States are typically urban neighborhoods perceived as being high in crime and poverty".

And it's always a surprise when I tell them that #Ghetto ("Gheto" in Venetian) is the name of a small island in Venice that became a worldwide used term since XVI century... they hardly believe me.

Then I tell them the story... do you know that?

Workplace Well-being

πŸ”– Definition
"Workplaces well-being is a key factor in determining an organisation's long-term effectiveness. Many studies show a direct link between productivity levels and the general health and well-being of the workforce.
Enterprises and organizations are increasingly recognising the need to take the well-being of their workers seriously."

πŸ“Έ Implementation
My enterprise (Me, Myself and I) took that really seriously and is being well 🀟
πŸ“œ 22 March 1848

On that day the Republic of San Marco was established in Venice during the first Italian war of independence, following the insurrection of the city against the
πŸ‘‰ Austrian domination.

The main creator of the revolution and key figure of the new Republic was the Venetian lawyer Daniele Manin, who carried the surname of the πŸ‘‰ last Doge of Venice.
This was the most significant episode of the insurrection riots which took place all over #Italy in 1848. The Republic of San Marco survived few months until August 1849 when, after a strenuous resistance, the city returned under #Austria.

πŸ“Έ In the photos:
- Campo Manin in Venice with the monument dedicated to #DanieleManin and the πŸ‘‰ San Marco Lion at its feet.
- Calle Larga XXII Marzo, named after the date, today e renowned "shopping street" not far from #SanMarco Square.
- The siege of Venice and the bombing of San Geremia Church by the Austrian from
πŸ‘‰ Forte Marghera.
- The proclamation of the Republic of San Marco.

🀫 As many of #myguests know, Venice is not just the island (which of course remains the main attraction)...

If you get the chance to stay more days we can enjoy fantastic secret places where only the locals go πŸ˜ƒ
