It is impossible to take a bad picture in Venice

I was thrilled my first time in Venice involved little to no tourists. I got off the train around 10:30am, turned my phone off and followed the locals. I wandered for four hours, mostly with only a few people in sight, found great restaurants which were very affordable and bought a lot of local art. When going back to the train station and seeing the crowds of people I felt bad for them. They missed out... all on their phones taking endless selfies and looking for these geotagged locations. Coming from NYC and dealing with tourists daily, I find that even in the most touristy places you can find peaceful, hidden gems.

Visiting Venice and are seeing this beam of light. Can’t seem to figure out what it is online either. Anybody know?

Pussy Riot and Femen stormed the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale on May 6, with police on the premises tackling members from the feminist protest groups who were able to make it inside the building.

"The Russian terrorist state uses culture to disguise itself. Blood is Russia’s only medium. Everything else is decoration. And the Biennale exhibits it."

Anybody surprised?

It was raining around midnight last night: we got the whole piazza to ourselves.

"The Migrant Child," a work by the renowned Banksy that appeared in Venice on the night of May 8th, 2019, depicts a child standing with his feet in the water, signaling for help with a fuchsia-colored flare, and has become a symbol of the tragedies of migrants lost at sea. After years of exposure to the elements and progressive deterioration, with an estimated loss of 30% of the original work, it was secured in 2025 thanks to an intervention promoted by Banca Ifis and carried out by restorer Federico Borgogni.

At the Venice Arsenale, Banca Ifis presented the results of the restoration of "The Migrant Child," recovered from the facade of Palazzo San Pantalon and now ready to be returned to the city. On Friday May 8th and Saturday May 9th, the work travelled through the canals of Venice on a boat, giving citizens the opportunity to see it again following the restoration. Upon completion of the works on Palazzo San Pantalon, expected by 2027, "The Migrant Child" will be reinstalled in its original position and permanently returned to the city.

The president of Banca Ifis, Ernesto Furstenberg Fassio, commented: "The project will cost more than 15 million euros, including the purchase of the palazzo, the conservative restoration of both the building and the artwork, and the organisation of events to promote the protection of children's rights."

Nice Mother’s Day moment. Riding the 2 Vaporetto Sunday at dawn, Mimmo followed us for a few stops.

I recently visited Venice for a few days last month and had a wonderful time. While, others have posted beautiful photos of the city, I thought it might be interesting to post photos of the boats that allow the city to function. I was fascinated to see the kinds of boats that are used for work purposes around the city: boat shop for vegetables, boat ambulance, boat for building construction and boats for garbage pickup.
