Tour description

Few cities in the world offer us the scenery of Venice! The ancient capital of Serenissima continues to be a reference to the mystery of another time.

The tour takes place through the San Marco neighborhood and the Castello neighborhood. We will start at the Church of the Pietà , the famous girls' orphanage where Vivaldi worked. We will introduce it to you!

The area presents us with many curious stories, in the New Prison we will learn how justice was respected in times of the Republic, the place where death sentences were carried out and how Casanova managed to escape and flee Venice forever. Nearby, in the Church of Santa María Formosa we will discover the presence of the Devil himself in the city and how the Venetians protect themselves from evil with a particularity of their houses.

Did you know that there were also sorceresses in Venice? One of them wanted to take the soul of the daughter of Tintoretto himself, one of the most important painters in the history of art. We will tell you about her stratagem and whether she was finally defeated or not! Who knows if he's still in Venice.

If you want to know these stories and many more, don't hesitate to take this tour! It won't taste long enough!
