Canal Grande with gondolas

Three gondolas crossing the Canal Grande... this was taken by my friend Federica from Rialto bridge.

Giudecca island

Giudecca island seen from the other side of the Canal, through the woods which sign tracks for the boats in the water of the lagoon.

San Giovanni e Paolo

The façade of the public Hospital in San Giovanni e Paolo square... not bad eh?!

Torcello

Torcello island is one of the quietest in the lagoon. There are two medieval churches and a bunch of tiny houses, surrounded by bushes, fields and waters.

Canal Grande

Canal Grande is really special at sunset, when you can admire lights reflecting on water.

Burano island

In Burano there are no gondolas but boats "parked" outside the houses like cars!

Burano island

Burano is really lively and popular, but also quite far from the beaten tracks.

Small court in Burano island, with the typical houses painted in bright colors.

Sacre and profane

Religious painting of Holy Heart of Jesus just beside the local Communist Party. Quite funny...
