👩🎨👮 Today the Pope came to Venice. His visit started in the Women Prison on the #Giudecca island where he opened the Holy See Pavillion for the #ArtBiennale.
I rarely go for modern art but this must be really worth visiting... the women prisoners themselves will guide visitors through the Pavillion every day until November.
Access is free but of course there are strict rules to go in because... it's a prison!
You can book your visit only here👇

📌🥬 May traditionally starts Summer events in Venice.
This is a very local one☝️, totally unknown to tourists!
It takes place in the island of #SantErasmo on the second Sunday of May and celebrates the harvest of the Violet Artichoke ("Carciofo Violetto"), a special perennial herbaceous plant that grows only here in the #Lagoon.
You can only eat this Artichoke here in Venice in various ways (raw, garnished, fried), its early bud is called "castraura" and it's much sought after around town in this season. Delicious 😋

🗾 Few know and visit the island of Sant'Erasmo.
It's the 2nd biggest island in the Lagoon, it's between Venice and #Burano (see in the map bordered in red☝️) and it's totally devoted to farming and fruits and vegetable growing.

🍇🥦 For centuries #SantErasmo served the city of Venice of all the vegetables and fruits it needed. Today you can find products coming from the island in the typical boat markets on the canals or in the central Erbaria market in #Rialto☝️
