Universally recognised as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice never ceases to amaze, even when retracing the more than a thousand years of history carried on its shoulders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The adventures and vicissitudes of Venice\u2019s past unfold like a cinematic epic: its obscure beginnings and internal organisation; its battles with pirates and struggles in Greece and the East, to devastating storms and the recent surge in tourism and construction of its sea defences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All these events have shaped its very distinctive appearance: a small city that has always been a stronghold for intellectual and religious freedom, teeming with artists, poets, artisans, and enlightened minds who have helped shape its beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a story that, after all, continues to be written. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
