Your Itinerary
Casino di Venezia
(Pass by)
Ca’ Vendramin, Ca’ being short for Casa, House. Today this palace is home to Venice’s Casino; built at the beginning of the 16th century. It changed owners many times, and at one stage was sealed off completely due to gruesome disputes between noblemen, not a rare occurrence in Venice. It was in this palace, on the 13th of February 1883, that Richard Wagner died in the company of his gondolier.
Ponte di Rialto
(Pass by)
Rialto Bridge, the first urban centre of Venice. It comes from the Latin “rivus altus”, deep canal, referring to the Grand Canal. Dating back to 1180, it was initially a series of boats with wooden planks placed on top. By unifying the two parts of the city on either side of the Grand Canal in a single arch movement, the Rialto Bridge has become the symbol of Venice’s unity and uniqueness.
Ponte dell'Accademia
(Pass by)
Founded in 1750, the Academy of Fine Arts was once the place where young aspiring artists learned painting, sculpture and architecture. The Accademia art gallery became a true stronghold for the preservation of many paintings in the city. Moreover, a decision was taken to privilege those works by Venetian painters from 1300 to 1700, and today, in fact, the Galleries exhibit masterpieces by the likes of Bellini, Giorgione, Tiziano, Tintoretto, Carpaccio, Veronese, Tiepolo and many others.
Peggy Guggenheim Collection
(Pass by)
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of the most important art collections in the world. Peggy Guggenheim, originally from New York, arrived in Venice in 1949 and began to satisfy art addiction buying this wonderful building where she displayed invaluable artworks to the world. The beautiful terrace you see is where Guggenheim sun-bathed regularly looking onto the Grand Canal.
