Venice in winter is even more magical, ready to welcome with many events, with its legendary charm and hospitality beyond the common standards.
Stroll through silent streets enveloped in fog, linger in museums to visit a new exhibition without haste or go shopping among the boutiques and artisan boutiques. Living Venice in winter also means discovering all its secret charm before the explosion of euphoria, colors and Carnival events. On January, the 5th, the sales season began: special objects, typically local manufactures or even the proposals of the big brands are here. Shops in the Dorsoduro and Rialto area offer the noblest Venetian craftsmanship, such as blown glass jewels, precious fabrics, masks and mirrors. While the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, an elegant Venetian palace adjacent to the Rialto bridge transformed into a luxury store, allows you to realize many desires, including that of a spectacular view of the city from the top floor of the building. Art lovers have instead until January, the 27th, to visit the exhibition “Peggy Guggenheim. L’ultima dogaressa”, an opportunity to discover all that the
American patron, collector and philanthropist did during her long stay in the lagoon, from 1948 to 1979. Until February, the 16th, the” Novecento a Palazzo Franchetti “offers a special excursus between the art of the twentieth century, from futurism to the Bauhaus, and from the metaphysics of De Chirico to surrealism, which wants to be both a reflection on the art of the short century and a question on the future of artistic expression itself. From February, the 8th, the colorful Carnival of Venice, one of the most famous in the world, will start and for two weeks the city will come alive with appointments, parties, masks and dances. Privileged starting points for experiencing Venice are the Saturnia & International Hotel, located in Calle Larga XXII Marzo, a few steps from San Marco and the Ca ’Pisani Hotel, near the Academy. The first with its frescoed ceilings, antique marbles, dark wood inlays and an allure of other times. The second with art deco furnishings and references to futurism. For those who want to stay in the Serenissima this season, the two hotels owned by the Serandrei family offer the WINTER discount code of 15% (valid until the end of March) to be used at the time of booking made directly on the sites www.hotelsaturnia.it and www.capisanihotel.it.
