Murano – Venice

The island of Murano belongs to the city of Venice. During the Middle Ages it was known for its famous harbour, for the numerous water mills and for fishing. It became so important that for centuries it was allowed to coin money and issue its own laws, with a government called the Supreme Council, made up of 500 local noblemen.
But the “destiny” of the island was undoubtedly marked when Venice decided to move on the island all the furnaces for the manufacture of glass, in order to avoid the danger of fire in Venice.
According to historical sources, in the twelfth century there were eight churches in Murano. Only one of them has arrived to us: it is the church of Santi Maria e Donato. Its foundation dates back to the seventh century AD, although it took its present shape in 1100. Inside you can see a mosaic contemporary of those present in the Basilica of San Marco.
If you decide to spend your holiday in Venice book a Bed & Breakfast in Venice ,don’t forget to visit the island of Murano.

Our tour begins in the early morning from B&B Venice you have booked from the Santa Croce district, located in the north-west of Venice. The eastern part of the district, old and typically Venetian, is extremely important from a commercial point of view as it connects Venice to the mainland. We recommend you take the No. 1 vaporetto and get off at San Stae stop from where you can easily visit all the important sights of the area. From the San Stae, you can also admire the façade of Ca ‘d’Oro, overlooking the Grand Canal. The first attraction that you will encounter will be the beautiful Church of San Stae and soon you will find the ancient palace of Ca ‘Pesaro, hosting the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Oriental Art, which is worth spending a little’ of time.

Do not be afraid the crowd, it’s normal. The environment will also enrapture. Enter the basilica of San Marcos which, incidentally, is free. If you take you will be forced to leave her backpack in a locker nearby. The Byzantine church was erected as an exponent of the power of the Venetian Republic and in it are kept the remains of St. Marco, patron of the city. Before you, 4,000 m2 of beautiful mosaics, but no pictures are strictly forbidden. In front of the Basilica stands the Campanile, which is compulsory climbing (6 €. Do not worry, there is a lift and views from almost 100 m high, are impressive. All Venice at your feet.

Return to Piazza San Marco at dusk, when the reflection of light on the facade of the basilica is spectacular. Many guidelines suggest waiting the sunset on the terrace of one of the legendary cafes located under the arches of Venice… what a breath-taking sunset!

But the district of San Marco do anymore. Passing under the Clock Tower, beautiful, and gives access to the Mercerie, one of the most commercial of Venice. Loitering around and find little gems.

Simple and fast: Valentine’s Day in B & B in Venice.

Venice is the pride of the cities of the world. I envy the lives going on behind the windows of the terraces, frozen, like the scenes of a music box; the gondolas, sighs, and even the statue that change colour over time. This is the reason that led me to choose to spend my vacation at a bed and breakfast Venice.

 My first approach to Venice has been through two huge masterpieces that I recommend to anyone to understand Venice before or after having been there.

Death in Venice by Thomas Mann:

Classic literature of the twentieth century, the tale of Thomas Mann condenses the uneasy sense of a life stretched to grasp the beauty, in its essence more transient, violent and baffling. A neo-classical and Platonic love is consumed in a Venice summer tainted by the plague threatening.

Death in Venice by Luchino Visconti:

Inspired by the beautiful story of Thomas Mann, the film moves away only for a few targeted changes: Aschenbach is a composer not a writer. The choice of Visconti was probably made to reconnect to the figure of Gustav Mahler, whom Mann initially thought, whose fine, impalpable music is one of the leitmotifs of the film. The complexity of the film does not limit the enjoyment, especially for the intense acting of all actors (Bogarde and Mangano on all) and for the accurate reconstruction of Venice: a city exhausted and rundown, the prey of the disease itself, in which the crowded beaches resonate of the sounds of a society elegantly cosmopolitan.

If you love literature and cinema, if you want to discover a city that can give you feel able to oscillate between wonder and melancholy of its many beauties, visit Venice with BBitalia.it

Venice is always wonderful but in winter is something different. The Venetian light grows even softer than usual, and the old stones seem more clearly defined. Winter is not only the season of the Carnival; it is also a good time to visit the famous markets, to taste the Venetian cooking, to navigate the lagoon and its bits of islands. Venice is irresistible.
