Following on from my post earlier this week, I’d thought I’d drop in another piccie of a rather wet Piazza San Marco. Apart from the many tourists you can also see located alongside the square, the 12th century Procuratie Vecchie, buildings that housed the apartments and offices of the procurators, the equivalent of the modern…

The main piazza (square) of Venice is undoubtedly Piazza San Marco. It’s a large square ringed on two sides by tourist restaurants with classical music playing and dominated by St Mark’s Basilica.

Burano is the capital of the finest laces and doilies, handmade with skills that have been passed down through generations. There is even a Lace Museum (Museo del Merletto) on the island which is located in Piazza Galuppi at the palace that was seat of the Burano Lace School.

To the north of Venice proper away from the madding, seething, cruise ship throng found in San Marco there’s lies two islands, Murano and Burano. They are just two of over 40 islands in the Laguna Veneta that surrounds Venice. Of course both of these attract (and indeed, need) tourists but at least they have…

The famous balcony is just off Via Mazzini where users of iPhones, compacts and DSLR’s blaze away hoping for that one different shot. Didn’t like my effort, so you won’t see it here! What you will see here is the Madonna Verona (which actually dates from roman times) that sits on the fountain in the…
