If you have already visited the main points of interest of the city, or if you have already been to Venice, this tour will make you discover the mysterious places of Dorsoduro district. We will talk about the past of the city, the plague epidemics that marked dark pages in Venetian history, but we will also see that the Venetians always picked themselves up, thanks to this spirit the Serenissima was able to survive along the centuries. We will admire a wonderful example of Baroque architecture, art lovers will be fascinated during the tour, and we will learn some old professions that today are almost forgotten. There will also be space to talk about the local lifestyle and food culture, a unique experience to improve your stay in Venice!
-Starting from Accademia bridge we will talk about Cà Venier, today the location of the Peggy Guggenheim museum, and its eccentric inhabitants; you will see Cà Dario, the cursed palace; we will talk about the plague and its devastating consequences on the city. -The route continues towards the Basilica della Salute and Punta della Dogana, one of the most evocative viewpoints of Venice, we will continue talking about the importance of the Venetian trade, until arriving at the complex of the Hospital of the Incurables. -We will arrive at the Zattere: the intellectuals of the past, like Ezra Pound and Iosif Brodskij, used to walk along this foundation. -Finally, we will see the Squero where today they are still making and repairing the most famous boat in the city: the gondola. -We will retrace the footsteps of Indiana Jones to arrive in one of the most frenetic and bustling camps in the city: Campo Santa Margherita, the meeting point most loved by young people.
