MYSTERIOUS VENICE

The hidden secrets of the Serenissima

Synopsis

Venice is undoubtedly the most exotic city in Europe. A labyrinth of 118 islets, a museum-city proud of its long and tumultuous history, a place suspended between land and sea, the Serenissima is also and above all a mysterious city par excellence.

What unfortunate fate has met Marino Faliero, the damned Doge? How did Giacomo Casanova escape from Venice's most terrifying prison? Why is Poveglia, an abandoned Venetian island, nicknamed "the cursed island"?

These places and characters tell a different story of Venice, one that is sometimes confusing, but always fascinating.
