Passeggiare per Venezia e conoscere la sua storia è sicuramente un'esperienza unica.
Il Cuore del centro storico è Piazza San Marco, definita il più bel salotto del mondo e caratterizzata da importanti monumenti e palazzi antichissimi. Uno dei più importanti è la Basilica di San Marco uno dei gioielli architettonici dello stile Veneto Bizzantino.
Venice - The Historical Centre
Crossing through Venice and knowing its history is surely an unique experience.
The core of the historic centre is St Mark's Square, defined the most beautiful living room of the world and characterized by important monuments and very ancient palaces. One of the most important one is the St Mark's Basilica, a Byzantine Venetian style jewel.

A fianco della Basilica troviamo Palazzo Ducale, capolavoro del gotico veneziano, è diventato oggi il simbolo di Venezia.
Antica residenza del Doge e sede delle principali magistrature dello Stato è tutt'ora l'espressione più alta dell'arte veneziana.
Costruita nel XV secolo con marmi d'istria oggi è un museo con opere dei migliori artisti veneziani; da non perdere la sala del Consiglio per secoli la più grande sede di governo del mondo, il Ponte dei Sospiri, caratteristico ponte che collega Palazzo Ducale con le Prigioni Nove; quello che oggi sembra un nome romantico per le passeggiate in gondola degli innamorati ha una storia ben più triste: sembra che dal Ponte dei Sospiri passassero i condannati a morte per andare a espiare la loro condanna e alla vista di Venezia sospirassero per l'ultima volta.
Venice - The Historical Centre
Near the basilica you can find the Ducal Palace, a masterpiece of the Venetian Gothic style, nowadays the symbol of Venice.
Ancient Doge's residence and main office of the country bench, it's still the most important example of the Venetian art.
Built in the XVth century with Istrian marbles, it's nowadays a museum with workarts of the best Venetian artists; the visitors cannot miss the Council Room that had been the greatest gouvernment office of the world, the Bridge of Sighs, characteristic bridge that links the Ducal Palace with the Nine Prisons; the bridge that seems to have a romantic name have a sadder story: as it would seem, people who were sentenced to death crossed through it in order to expiate their condemnation admired Venice sighing for the last time.
