Ciao Venezia!
Everyone was really excited to arrive in Venice and see this mysterious lagoon city. Venice was basically built on mud by farmers who fled from barbarians and who needed a safe place to live. The estuary of the huge river Po was a perfect place to be safe, but an impossible place to build something.the stubborn and extremely masterful venetians made this happen. A miraculous city built in a lagoon was born. We had a guided tourgent with a local guide Silvia to the Palace of Dodges, where the dodges governed democratically the city.
We also had a demonstration of how the glass of Murano is made.
