Die Tour mit Fr. Dott.ssa Spolador (19.09.) hat unsere Erwartungen bei Weitem übertroffen. Es handelte sich um eine äußerst ausführliche und kenntnisreiche Führung durch den Dogenpalast und den Markusdom, die sich statt auf die üblichen touristischen Kennzahlen vielmehr auf die historische und kunsthistorische Relevanz der besuchten Orte konzentrierte. Somit hat die Führung einen unglaublichen Mehrwert geboten, mit dem wir in dieser Form keinesfalls gerechnet hatten. Dieser Eindruck wurde noch verstärkt durch die gewinnende und zuvorkommende Art von Frau Spolador, die sichtlich Freude daran hatte, ihre Expertise zu vermitteln.
