What To Expect

An unusual stroll to discover the secrets of the Venice Jewish Ghetto the 1st of the world. Avoid the tourist trail and explore an authentic, lesser known but incredible well preserved area of Venice enjoying the secret corners.
Discover with me this very old section of Venice and learn why the Serenissima Republic forced the Jewish community to live under strict rules and how they lived for centuries.
Did you know that the word "ghetto" comes from a local venetian word ?
I will help you to recognize the hidden synagogues and I will give you insights into the tragedy of the Nazi deportation and how the Holocaust left a deep mark on my beloved city.
And then ? We will explore together the sestier of Cannaregio, with its beautiful streets and the venetian "skyscrapers", we will cross beautiful bridges draped in the local's laundry, Italian style.
We will end this unique experience with a convivial stop.
I'll be sure to show you all of the highlights, symbols and secrets along the way!
