An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew the lagoon well, or want to discover the hidden face of the surroundings of Venice.
The remains of the bell tower of Saint Mark's Basilica, which collapsed in 1902, a museum in the waiting room of a dental surgery that is still in use, the two secret holes through which cameramen projected films at the first Mostra in 1932, old English cannons used as mooring bollards, one of the few physical remains of the famous Battle of Lepanto, a replica in San Clemente of the house where the Virgin Mary lived in Nazareth, a little-known masterpiece of industrial archaeology, the last of the “guard quays” built just after 1500 to block the movement of sand, a work commemorating the day Pellestrina almost disappeared, the miracle of the moving eyes in a painting of the Virgin Mary, a beach in the lagoon listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site...
Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, the Venice lagoon is still a reserve of well-concealed treasures only revealed to those who know how to wander off the beaten track.
An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew the lagoon well, or want to discover the hidden face of the surroundings of Venice.
