A journey into the aesthetics of beauty

"Hello Gondolier, where are you taking me today?"

These words that echo in the lagoon during the hot days express the desire for news of another kind on the lips of modern lovers of Venice.

This city of stars and waters stretches, fascinating as ever, along the entire length of its lagoons, and although the inexorable developments of modern life have connected it to the mainland with a large bridge which runs parallel to the railway line and although it has a large industrial port, Venice is today as always the most unique of island constructions in the world.

A labyrinth of small canals, an archipelago of 136 islets linked together by hundreds of bridges, with 150 "rivers" of which 44 flow into the wonderful Grand Canal, Venice is a living miracle in the sky, a riot of roofs, churches, palaces, verandas, bell towers, marbles, stones, statues, guard it, and multitudes of pigeons flit around its monuments, sunbathing while its bells ring their toll.

Venice is this, but it is also homeland of ancient knowledge and holds in its heart the most real and tangible craftsmen, the most refined and meticulous, which still today carries on secular traditions each high, with an eye to the future.
