Venice - A brilliant January day - Church of San Geremia containing the relics of Santa Lucia (St Lucy), a fabulous historic confection of church, bell tower and canal side location. 5 minutes from the station / Ferrovia Santa Lucia. At least 300 palaces and quite a few churches line the Grand Canal from P.le Roma to San Marco #Venezia #Ferrovia #Venice @locationphotography @nytimestravel @visitveneto @italiait @italia_magazine @veneziaunica @igersvenezia

Palladian villas, Villa Pisani at Stra. The legacy of architect Andrea Palladio in Venice and the Veneto. Unique and special small, group tour - April each year. Message @educatedtraveller for details. #Palladio #Zelotti #Veronese #Veneto @villafornicerato @villaemo @villadimaser @visitveneto @igersveneto https://wp.me/p5eFNn-4UY

In the heart of Venice there’s still many small, owner-operated shops selling a fantastic array of beautiful hand-made goods; velvets, silks, tapestry, amazing colourful masks, fantastic hand-made paper, note pads, envelopes. Book shops filled with fantastic titles about Venice. These window displays are a feast for the eyes. #Venice #shopping #artisans #charm #tradition - check out @educatedtraveller for numerous written articles about a Venice and the history, art and culture of this magical city.

The Italian Church #London #Clerkenwell built in 19th century, completed c.1860 as a place of worship for the many Italians who lived here in London. Named St Peter’s as a pointed and ironic gesture to the proximity of nearby St Paul’s. Beautifully decorated internally in light, bright, neo-classical style. Fabulous nativity scene ‘presepio’ on rhs of altar. Next door is an Italian delicatessen that’s been there since 1878 - opened by Luigi Terroni to welcome and refresh weary Italians missing home....there’s even Italian newspapers to buy inside - for the local community. Charming and delightful ‘Little Italy’ in Clerkenwell! #Italy #Italia #Italianchurch @visitlondon @italia_magazine @italiait @igersitalia

Today in Venice - excuse me are you throwing that fine 2-seater away. I’ll have it, yes me, over here. I’ll take it. Oh, they’ve gone. Perhaps they’re not interested, maybe they don’t speak English?! Don’t know really!
