The art of mosaics at Spilimbergo…. Spilimbergo - Mosaic School in Italy Fun and frolics in Venice for the #experience #tradeshow #bitesp #venezia so much on offer, pesto making in Liguria, hot air balloons in Piedmonte, bird watching in Lazio and Napoli and for the really keen - bird watching in Ventotone…. Original, new and different. Forget Positano, go to Nerano instead! Italy experts @grandtouristofficial @understand_venice @educatedtraveller Yesterday was the feast day of St Catherine of Alexandria, she was a Christian martyr who died for her faith in the 3rd century. Catherine is often shown in paintings with a carriage wheel, a large wooden wheel that was used as a means to kill her. It did not succeed. Legend has it that her faith protected her from death. A rainy day in Venice calls for an umbrella, ☔️ comfortable shoes and a big coat. A biscuit emergency was declared at 2 pm. Special Buranelli biscuits to the rescue! Biscuits courtesy of Da Romano Ristorante.  It was high water on the lagoon today so the MOSE flood carrier was raised! The flood barrier parents flooding in San Marco and Centro Storico. Venice on a gorgeous November day. Festa della Salute - fabulous and the relaunch of Il Nuovo Trionfo after a massive refurbishment - complimenti to the ‘Friends of Nuovo Trionfo’ #Venezia #Salute #nuovotrionfo #festa #grandtourist Milano - a short, sweet visit starting with gorgeous Linate, the original airport of Milan. Linate is small, convenient and just 20 mins from city centre - love it. Other favourites: Etro factory outlet store, Bar Luce, F.ne Prada and Hotel Manin (the perfect base). #linate #barluce #hotelmaninmilano #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #milano Palermo, palaces, magic and mystery!
