Vous aimez la musique ? Vous aimez voir comment elle est miraculeusement produite ? Au Musée du Conservatoire de Venise, plusieurs instruments de musique y sont exposés, beaux à voir mais plus ou moins mystérieux pour les non-experts. En les regardant bien, ils peuvent ouvrir une lueur et peut-être ... percer l'obscurité ...

In 1949, Carlo Scarpa was tasked with redesigning the garden and ground floor of the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, but it was only ten years later that the actual project saw light; this was a lively and exciting period for the architect, who was in charge of assembling museums’ interiors in the city and of completing of various projects for the Venice Biennale.
The job was carried out with the help of Giuseppe Mazzariol, director of the Fondazione. The entrance hall and ground floor were later modified and completed thanks to the intervention of Valeriano Pastor and the ticinese architect Mario Botta.
The palace was left by count Giovanni Querini Stampalia in 1868 as a foundation, with the expressed intent of it becoming a library and place of study; Carlo Scarpa was able to assimilate in the entrance and garden the harmony of Venetian tradition with the modernity of the materials utilised: cement, Istrian stone, mosaic and metal.
Querini Stampalia is a remarkable house-museum of an ancient noble family and it is also a brilliant display of contemporary architecture, which you can explore with a .

Nel 1949 Carlo Scarpa ottenne l’incarico di sistemare il giardino e il pian terreno della Fondazione Querini Stampalia a Venezia, ma il progetto fu realizzato dieci anni dopo, in un periodo di pieno fervore per l’architetto veneziano, incaricato di riallestimenti museali in città e realizzazione di alcuni progetti per la Biennale di Venezia. L’opera venne eseguita con l’aiuto di Giuseppe Mazzariol, direttore della Fondazione. L’atrio e il pian terreno furono in seguito modificati e completati grazie agli interventi di Valeriano Pastor e dell’architetto ticinese Mario Botta.
Il palazzo fu lasciato dal conte Giovanni Querini Stampalia nel 1868 come fondazione, perché diventasse una biblioteca e luogo di studio e Carlo Scarpa riuscì a integrare nell’ingresso e giardino l’armonia della tradizione veneziana con la modernità e dei materiali utilizzati: il cemento, la pietra d’Istria, il mosaico e il metallo.
La visita della Querini Stampalia, l’affascinante casa-museo di una antica famiglia nobile è anche un percorso nell’architettura contemporanea che le vi propongono.

Ever since the Discalced Carmelites settled in the place they still inhabit in Venice, they enjoyed a garden that remains unique and precious to this day.

It is unique due to the large quantity of medical herbs grown there and from the point of view of design, which is symbolic, allegorical and “mystical”.

James Bond came to Venice three times. In the 1963 From Russia with Love, Sean Connery thwarts a killer in a hotel and in the last scene he glides beneath the Bridge of Sighs in a gondola, not unaccompanied of course.
In Moonraker, Operation Space from 1979, Roger Moore, also seen on a gondola, suffers an unfortunate attack by a fake dead body in a coffin. The gondola is of course engined and after speeding through the canals he crosses St. Mark’s square to the beat of the music. There are then the famous scenes fighting the samurai in the glass shop and inside the Clock Tower.
The last 007 to come to Venice was Daniel Craig in his first Bond film, Casino Royale of 2006.
In the final scene in Venice, Bond runs to the rescue of the bondgirl (Vesper) in a crumbling palace on the Grand Canal. The breathtaking scenes were actually shot at Pinewood Studios in England. If you’re curious about more anecdotes, ask a .

James Bond è arrivato ben 3 volte in laguna. Nel 1963 l’affascinante Sean Connery in A 007 dalla Russia con amore sgomina in un albergo una killer e transita nell’ultima scena sotto al Ponte dei Sospiri in una gondola, ovviamente in dolce compagnia.
Nel 1979 Roger Moore in Moonraker – Operazione Spazio subisce un attacco durante un giro in gondola da parte di un finto ca****re in una bara. La gondola di James Bond si motorizza e dopo aver sfrecciato attraverso i canali attraversa a suon di musica la piazza San Marco. Famose anche le sequenze della colluttazione con il samurai nel negozio di vetro ed all’interno della Torre dell’Orologio.
L’ultimo 007 girato a Venezia è Casino Royale. il primo con il nuovo attore britannico Daniel Craig nel 2006, il 21esimo film della saga. Nella parte finale a Venezia Bond soccorre la bond girl di turno Vesper nell’edificio sul Canal Grande che sta crollando. Le spettacolari scene sono state girate in Inghilterra, nei Pinewood Studios.

On this day Venice celebrates one of city’s most important festivities: the Madonna della Salute.
The beautiful Salute church was built in remembrance of the terrible plague that cursed the city in 1630-31, only a few decades after the previous atrocious bout of pestilence from which rose the Redentore church on the Giudecca.
And just like for the Redentore, so too on the day of the Salute a temporary bridge connects the two sides of the Grand Canal, allowing Venetians to reach the temple dedicated to the Virgin Mary, carrying a candle as a token of both thanksgiving for past health and that it may continue into the next year!
Naturally, as all festivities go, there is no shortage of typical food dishes.
To enjoy this day in full ask your !

Oggi a Venezia si celebra una delle festività religiose più sentite dai veneziani: la festa della Madonna della Salute.
L’omonima bellissima chiesa sorse per ricordare una delle terribili pestilenze che colpì la città nel 1630-31, pochi decenni dopo l’altra tremenda epidemia che diede origine alla chiesa del Redentore.
Come per il Redentore, anche per la festa della Salute viene costruito un ponte temporaneo che collega le due sponde del Canal Grande, in modo da permettere a tutti i veneziani di recarsi in processione al tempio dedicato alla Vergine portando una candela in segno di ringraziamento per la buona salute goduta e auspicio di mantenerla anche per l’anno successivo.
Naturalmente non mancano i piatti tipici da gustare per l’occasione: chiedete consiglio a una !

St Martin's day is one of the most beloved Venetian traditions.
On November 11th, Venetian children go around the streets banging on pots and pans demanding sweets - a bit like Halloween.
Cake shops have fabulous window displays of San Martino biscuits which are shaped in the form of the dashing, knightly saint on his horse, with sword in hand. These indulgent biscuits are covered in icing and studded with chocolates and candies.
