The Basilica of San Marco is the enchanting building that represents the magnificence of the Republic of Venice, during the thousand years of life of the Serenissima.
With its monumental arches that project onto Piazza San Marco, it is called the Golden Basilica, due to the more than one thousand square meters of mosaic tiles made with the gold leaf with which it is covered.

Piazza San Marco
The Scuola Grande di San Rocco (about 7 minute of walking from Carmini House) is a building in Venice, northern Italy. It is noted for its collection of paintings by Tintoretto and generally agreed to include some of his finest work.
The building is the seat of a confraternity established in 1478, named after San Rocco, popularly regarded as a protector against plague. The members of the "Confraternity of St. Roch" were a group of wealthy Venetian citizens. The site they chose for their building is next to the church of San Rocco which houses the remains of the saint.
In 1564 the painter Tintoretto was commissioned to provide paintings for the Scuola, and his most renowned works are to be found in the Sala dell'Albergo and the Sala Superiore. All the works in the building are by him, or his assistants, including his son Domenico: they were executed between 1564 and 1587. Works in the sala terra are in homage to the Virgin Mary, and concentrate on episodes from her life. In the sala superiore, works on the ceiling are from the Old Testament, and on the walls from the New Testament. Together, they show the biblical story from Fall to Redemption.
A sculpture of Tintoretto with his paintbrushes is featured, as well as a relief carved to look like a bookcase.

In Campo San Giacomo dall'Orio stands the church of the same name, one of the most ancient Venetian churches.
The simple façade, which almost does not look like that of a sacred building, faces a tiny square characterized by a fountain.
The foundation of the church should date back to the 9th century even if the first document that mentions it dates back to 1089. In 1225 it was rebuilt in the Byzantine style and decorated with very particular elements including a green marble column brought from Byzantium as a trophy of war during the Fourth Crusade.
Inside it is worth noting the beautiful pictorial cycle of Palma il Giovane in the Old Sacristy and in the Chapel of the Most Holy.
Not far from San Giacomo dell'Orio rises Palazzo Mocenigo which in 1954 was donated to the city of Venice by the owner Alvise Mocenigo, descendant of an ancient and noble patrician family who gave famous Doges to the Serenissima.

The Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice (6/7 minutes of walking from Carmini House) is an Italian state museum. They are located in the Dorsoduro district at the foot of the Accademia bridge, in what until the early nineteenth century was the vast complex formed by the church of Santa Maria della Carità, the convent of the Lateran Canons and the Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Charity (the entrance is for the portal of the latter). They take their name from the Academy of Fine Arts, which opened them in 1817 and shared their headquarters until 2004.
They collect the best collection of Venetian and Venetian art, especially linked to paintings from the period from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century: among the major artists represented are Tintoretto, Giambattista Pittoni, Tiziano, Canaletto [2], Giorgione, Giovanni Bellini, Vittore Carpaccio, Cima da Conegliano and Veronese. There are also other forms of art such as sculptures and drawings, including the famous Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci (exhibited only on special occasions).

The Church of San Zaccaria, a short distance from Piazza San Marco, is one of the most beautiful in Venice, but don't just admire its fifteenth-century facade or its interiors full of works of art. Remember, when you reach the chapel of San Tarasio, in correspondence with one of the apses, to go down the steps leading to the crypt: this is where the building reveals one of its most evocative aspects, and that the less informed tourist can miss. You will find yourself in an environment with three naves with columns and cross vaults. In this place the first doges of the Serenissima were buried. Today, as happens in many Venetian buildings, the basements are constantly flooded, but the presence of water has transformed the environment making it fascinating and unique: the columns and vaults are mirrored, doubling the spaces, adding depth and creating new perspectives.

The Gran Teatro La Fenice, located in the San Marco district in Campo San Fantin, is today the main opera house in Venice, as well as one of the most prestigious in the world.
Every year it holds the traditional New Year's Concert.
Twice destroyed and rebuilt, it was the site of important opera and symphonic seasons and the International Festival of Contemporary Music.
In the nineteenth century the theater was the site of numerous world premieres of works by Gioachino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi.
Great attention was also paid to contemporary production in the twentieth century, with world premieres by Igor Stravinskij, Benjamin Britten, Sergej Prokofiev, Luigi Nono, Bruno Maderna, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Mauricio Kagel, Adriano Guarnieri, Luca Mosca and Claudio Ambrosini.

Torcello is an island in the northern Venetian lagoon.
It was one of the oldest and most prosperous settlements in the lagoon, until the decline following the predominance of nearby Venice and the changing environmental conditions. Currently the island has just eleven residents, but the priceless archaeological heritage it still preserves makes it a very popular tourist spot.
Monuments and places of interest:
1) The basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, formerly the cathedral of the suppressed diocese of Torcello, was restructured in its present form around the year one thousand. Unique feature: it consists of large windows with shutters made of stone slabs. The western wall, corresponding to the main entrance, is occupied, inside, by a Byzantine-style mosaic of considerable size representing the Last Judgment, at the base of which there is a praying Madonna, a motif that also characterizes the apse of the basilica of Santi Maria e Donato in Murano.
2) The church of Santa Fosca, which dates back to the 12th century, has a Greek cross plan and a portico with marble columns and capitals which incorporates the architectural motif of the interior. Greek cross churches are very rare and are a symptom of the Byzantine cultural domination, which Venice underwent between the 9th and 12th centuries.
In the open space facing the two sacred buildings, also bordered by the Palazzo del Podestà, seat of the Provincial Museum of Torcello, there is the so-called "Attila's throne", more likely a seat reserved for magistrates in charge of administering justice.
3) The Ponte del Diavolo, which spans an internal canal, retains the characteristic shape without parapets, an original feature of all Venetian bridges.

The island of Murano is famous for the long tradition of glass processing.
Plenty of visitors take the vaporettos to explore the Glass Museum, dedicated to the history of glassmaking over the centuries, and to buy local handcrafted souvenirs.
The Church of Santa Maria and San Donato, in Romanesque style, has a floor with colored mosaics and, according to legend, houses the bones of the dragon killed by the saint.

The city could in fact be said to be enclosed in this microcosm made up of books, strange furnishings, cats and obviously high water. You understood perfectly well. To protect the many volumes from the water that gradually enters the shop, there are no shelves or shelves, but gondolas, canoes, boats and tubs.
