Today, November 21, Venice celebrates the “Madonna della Salute” Feast, an annual anniversary to commemorate the miraculous disappearance of the plague that struck the city in 1630, thanks to the intercession of Our Lady.

During the epidemic, Doge Nicolò Contarini and Patriarch Giovanni Tiepolo organized a prayer procession that lasted three days and three nights, vowing to Our Lady to build a temple dedicated to her if she helped the city survive the plague. Soon, the infections decreased until they stopped. In 1631 the foundation stone was laid for the construction of the Basilica della Salute, still a pilgrimage destination on this day much felt by the Venetians.

It is in fact tradition to go to the Basilica to light a candle and pray for the health of loved ones, a wish that we extend to all of you in the hope of better times.

Bought or handmade? Chocolate or not? We are talking about our San Martino’s patries of course!!

Today November 11, in Venice we celebrate the saint: tradition has it that every Venetian celebrates this day by eating the classic dessert in the shape of a knight riding his horse.

If you happen to go around the streets of the city, you could also meet groups of children who, beating pots and lids with wooden ladles, sing folk songs and ask for treats from merchants.

We wish you a happy San Martino!

Tonight will be St. John’s night, that is considered a magical one; the tradition suggests to prepare the St. John’s water, using spontaneous herbs and some flowers 🌸 🌿
You can use: mint, basil, rosemary, thymus, daisies, poppies, mallow plant, hypericum, jasmine, dandelion and many others depending on the place you live. The best would be grab them right after the sunset, then you have to put all your picks in a water bowl.
The bowl have to stay outside the whole night, because the magic part happens during dark hours, the dew that will settle on the herbs will contain the power of nature gods.
In the morning you should wash your face and body with that water, this will bring love, fortune and health in your life!

Did you know this tradition? 🧙🏽‍♀️✨

Never was a thoroughfare so aptly named as the Grand Canal, reflecting the glories of centuries of Venetian architecture in the 50 palazzi and six churches lining its banks. ⁣
⁣
At the end of Venice’s signature S-shaped waterway, the Palazzo Ducale and Basilica di San Marco add double exclamation points. ⁣
⁣
But wait until you see what’s hiding in the narrow backstreets: neighbourhood churches lined with Veroneses and priceless marbles, convents graced with ethereal Bellinis, Tiepolo’s glimpses of heaven on homeless-shelter ceilings, and a single Titian painting that mysteriously lights up an entire basilica.⁣

✨ Beaten gold leaf is mostly industrially produced in China. In Venice, Berta Battiloro is upholding the craft of gold beating by hand, using a hammer. The family business is "The Last of the Gold Beaters" – and they’re very proud of their craftmanship.

Let’s restart!⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Gray Line Venice today reopens.⁣
⁣
Guests are once again looking on monuments, squares, streets, architectures, statues and all those glories Venice keep and that for long time have suffered from loneliness and lucky gazes. Even so, they never stop being the protagonists.⁣
Streets and squares are populating again, with children’s screaming as Venetian afternoons’ soundtrack.⁣
⁣
This will be a fresh start in name of safety. New procedures will be adopted to keep and safeguard your physical safety, but your look will be as usually free to extend to the splendour of the surroundings.⁣
Together we will build a new way of living “our Venice”, because the world asks us to change.⁣
⁣
A big thank goes to all of you. We wait for you soon to share new experiences and we are sure seeing each other once again will be such an emotion.⁣
⁣
Let’s stay united. Once again.⁣
