🎸🎼 #MikeOldfield in Venice, Autumn 1999.
Few know or remember that he played a full concert in Venice Campo Sant'Angelo on September 27, 1980.
I can't find any footage of that concert, if you find something can you post here please?👇🙏

🌊 On #12November 2019 Venice experienced the last (hopefully) "Acqua Granda", a flood that devastated the city.

This is the most recent bridge built in Venice☝️
It's totally out of tourist tracks, it connects the train station to the university area of San Giobbe.
The bridge is called Valeria Solesin, named after the Venetian student who 10 years ago, #13November 2015, attended the concert of #EaglesOfDeathMetal at the Bataclan in Paris.
She was killed along with 130 other persons in the worst terrorist attack in Europe 🙏
