A center of medieval European trade and finance, the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance.

Murano is an interesting and cute island really close to Venice. If you are lucky you can watch while the masters are creating glass objects. It’s amazing!

After a long time (maybe 10 years?) I had the chance to visit Venice again. I had to speak in a meeting and the location was the hospital “SS Giovanni e Paolo”. Believe me, Venice is so special that even the hospital can leave you breathless (picture on the left). And no cars around only boats… relaxing…
Unfortunately the weather was not that good for taking pictures…
