A walk back in time to discover the “lascivious way of life” of Venetian history. This was the golden age of libertine writers and lascivious Carnivals. But Venice was also a romantic place for hidden relationships, a time, you will enjoy a collection of spicy stories narrated while walking in the Rialto area of the city, filled with places with long stories and rich histories behind, tales told often in murmurs.

Venice is a city made of many little islands where almost all the space available is filled by buildings and houses, leaving only minimum space to the citizen life. For this reason you can understand how precious and exceptional are the Venetian Gardens. Gardens with long histories and romantic traditions. Let the crowded Venice behind and enter with us in a green, quit and relaxing corner.

Venice, a city where millions of tourists filled up the narrow streets like ants in an ant-hill. But the Venetians, the real ones, the ones that live and work in Venice, where are them? Obviously during the day they are locked up in their offices, but later, when the sun goes down, they are always joined up by a tradition: a moment to meet each other, to chat and to relax; a moment that belongs only to Venice people: the aperitif. The Venice aperitif, whose origin is unknown, has become a folk  tradition, a regular appointment. Let's think about the pleasure of a relaxing moment, surrounded by the beautiful frame made by the ancient palaces, drinking a typical “ombra” (literally “shadow”, it's a little glass of white or red wine that took its name from the shadow of the bell tower, where the gentlemen were used to have their drink during the sultry summer days) and eating “cicchetti” (typical venetian appetizers). You will be taken by a Venetian along narrow roads to discover historical “osterie” (typical wine bars, restaurants), you'll cross the Gran Canal with a “gondola-traghetto”. You will walk through the fish and vegetables market while “our Venetian” will tell you all the small secrets hide behind palaces, ridges and churches scattered along the way. A tour different from the others, a funny but instructive experience for everybody, a way to know typical dishes and to drink a toast to friends, relatives and sometimes even to strangers…
