I luoghi e i capolavori attorno a cui vale la pena costruire una giornata.
MonumentoCanal GrandeVenice's main street of water, palace facades, vaporetto Line 1, reverse-S sweepThe Grand Canal, called Canalazzo by Venetians, is the principal waterway through Venice's historic centre. Its inverted-S course runs between the lagoon and St Mark's Basin, linking the city with the Rialto trading centre. It was Venice's main commercial route and, from the sixteenth century, a prominent setting for aristocratic palaces. Regular mechanically propelled public transport began here in 1881, but routes and fares must always be checked live. The canal forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage property Venice and its Lagoon, not a separately inscribed site.Pianifica la visita
PiazzaPiazza San MarcoNapoleon's drawing room of Europe, Campanile, Procuratie arcades, acqua alta mirrorsThe only piazza in Venice earns the singular title, enclosed by arcades that have hosted coffee drinkers since the 1720s. When the acqua alta rises, the whole square becomes a mirror for the basilica's domes.
PontePonte dei SospiriEnclosed prison bridge, last view of the lagoon, Baroque limestone screen, gondola vantagePrisoners crossed this enclosed bridge from the Doge's tribunals to the cells, sighing at a last sliver of lagoon through the stone grilles. From a gondola below, the white limestone screen is Venice's most photographed melancholy.
PontePonte di RialtoSingle marble span of 1591, shop-lined arcades, Grand Canal crossing, market quarter gatewayVenice gambled on a single stone span where engineers predicted collapse, and the Rialto has carried its shops since 1591. The central portico still frames the Grand Canal's busiest reach, gondolas and vaporetti sliding beneath.
ChiesaBasilica di Santa Maria della SalutePlague-vow basilica, Longhena's octagon, scrolled buttresses, Punta della Dogana silhouetteVenice vowed a church to the Virgin if the plague of 1630 lifted, and Longhena answered with an octagon riding the Dogana point like a crown. Titians hang in the sacristy, and the November Salute festival still crosses a bridge of boats to her door.
TeatroTeatro La FeniceThe phoenix opera house, risen from three fires, Verdi premieres, gilded horseshoe hallNamed the Phoenix for surviving one fire, La Fenice has since risen from two more, most recently in 2003 with its gilt and stucco remade. Verdi premiered La Traviata and Rigoletto in this horseshoe of boxes.
GalleriaGallerie dell'AccademiaVenetian painting's full arc, Veronese's Feast, Giorgione's Tempest, Carpaccio cyclesFive centuries of Venetian color hang in the old charity of Santa Maria, from Bellini's madonnas to Veronese's vast banquet that scandalized the Inquisition. Giorgione's Tempest keeps its secret here, as it has for five hundred years.
PalazzoCa' d'OroGothic lace facade, lost gilding, Franchetti collection, Grand Canal balconiesThe House of Gold lost its gilded facade long ago, but its Gothic stonework still reads as lace against the Grand Canal. Inside, Baron Franchetti's collection keeps Mantegna's San Sebastiano in a palace worthy of it.
MuseoScuola Grande di San RoccoTintoretto's sixty canvases, Venice's Sistine ceiling, confraternity halls, mirror-assisted viewingTintoretto spent twenty-three years covering this confraternity's walls and ceilings with some sixty canvases, a one-man answer to the Sistine Chapel. Mirrors are still handed out so visitors can study the ceilings without craning.
MuseoMuseo del Vetro di MuranoSeven centuries of Venetian glass, Barovier wedding cup, furnace island heritage, Palazzo GiustinianVenice exiled its furnaces to Murano in 1291 and the island has blown glass ever since. In Palazzo Giustinian, the craft's seven centuries line up from Roman shards to the fifteenth-century Barovier wedding cup.
