In the late 19th century, Mark Twain, the famous American author who wrote the world-renowned “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, came to Venice and dedicated most of his chapter in “The Innocents Abroad” on the urban Venetian life with reference to the traditional gondolas and their “captains”.
The Ducale Palace, also known as the Doge’s Palace, in Venice was built in the Saint Mark’s Square in a Venetian gothic architecture style. When you visit this beautiful city, you will notice the profound detailed architectural designs of all its monuments, landmarks, and houses.
There are several things that happen in September in Venice if you would like to have an eventful trip in Italy. You can visit the Lido di Venezia which hosts the annual Venice Film Festival and on the first Sunday of that month, there is the traditional Historical Regatta occurring on the Grand Canal!
Brush up on your Italian language skills this summer and visit Venice in September or during the Carnival month to enjoy the city even more.
The actual method of glassmaking is extremely complex and detailed; not exactly how it is seen in the demonstrations in Murano! The glass is made of silica which melts into a liquid form under higher temperatures and as it cools, it goes soft enough in order to be shaped by the skilled artist.
The oldest factory of glass in Murano is the mid-19th century Antica Vetreria Fratelli Toso; it is one of the most significant glasshouses in the entire country.
The Gondola boat was the main use of transportation on the waters in Venice in the past centuries.
The city of Venice was involved in the Crusades War during the High Middle Ages Period until the Late Middle Ages. In the 12th century, just after the First Crusade, the “Siege of Sidon” took place with the help of the Doge of Venice at the time, Ordelafo Faliero. Norway and Jerusalem captured the cities of Syria by the coast with the assistance of the fleet of 200 Venetian ships.
You can enjoy the peace and quiet in Murano when visiting Venice in Italy over the summer holidays if you are looking for a more down-to-earth place to visit.
There are many shops and cafes around Murano that are very cozy and inviting so that there is always something to do when you are not sightseeing.
Venice is world-renowned as the romantic city; however its history is rich and runs back centuries past. It was founded in the 5th century. It became a republic in the late 7th century until the late 18th century. In the later 19th century (1866), Venice was considered a part of Italy, the new kingdom.
You can take a lovely walk by the canals of Murano and be surrounded constantly by peace and beautiful views of Venetian houses and boats.
