Venezia, upside-down forest

“Perché il sogno più vero è quello più distante dalla realtà, quello che vola via senza bisogno di vele, né di vento.” - Hugo Pratt

Venice is not the city of tourists—their noise, stalls, or chaos. Venice is not this. We must seek and escape the usual tourist routes.

Venice is hidden within the silence and simple elegance of tiny squares (campielli), in the narrow passages that open into larger squares (campi), and in the small streets (calli) that lead to extraordinary places.

There, we will be welcomed by the true sounds of Venice and its silences. Stunning images will be revealed, reflecting travels, adventures, and cultures from other countries. It's incredible, but these places are hidden and sometimes well-protected.

I read in a book: "In some encounters, there is no hurry. Some conversations are made of looks and don't need many words." A few pages later, it said, "Venice will never die because it's too full of dreams."
