experienced local guide?

Pick up a live webinar of Venice to get transported from your home to the Doge’s
Palace, the golden basilica and the now magically serene lagoon, to start with! In
the following pages you will find the list of the available webinars.

Through these convivial interactive webinars I conduct from home, we’ll explore
in depth the city’s stories and history and discuss what the future might bring.
So, why not grab a glass of prosecco (or a strong Italian caffé) and join me in
these small group salons!

The Venetian Lagoon: landscape, birds and boats

Unlike other marshland areas along the coasts of the Mediterranean sea, the
Venetian lagoon has its own uniqueness. During this webinar you will discover
what makes this landscape so special and learn about the variety of the fauna, in
particular its birds. You will see how man designed specific boats to move around
the shallow water and pursue an economy based on fishing, hunting and more.

                 Jewish Venice: the places and the people

The presence of the Jewish community is Venice has been documented since the
end of the 1300s. In a city that used to draw its wealth from the presence of
foreign communities, learn how Jews contributed to its growing power while
segregated in the Ghetto and what happened after the gates were removed.
Follow the story of Venice from a Jewish perspective while at home and learn
about the places and some of the protagonists.

Venice and the Plague: a story of death, innovation and women

Epidemic events struck Venice several times in its history, originally with a
devastating outcome. Commerce would be the issue: what would you choose
among economic growth and health? Join this live webinar to explore the
incredibly innovative strategies Venice applied in the ancient times to face the
plague.

The Doge’s Palace and St Mark’s Basilica: Power, Justice and Religion

The Doge’s palace was the political and judicial centre of the Venetian State for
several centuries. Art was the best means for the State to represent its
propaganda. Famous artists of the time were hired and huge wealth and
creativity were invested. The basilica of St Mark’s, too, became a symbol of
Venice and revealed through its religious architecture and art more than faith and
devotion. Learn the history and the stories of these iconic monuments of Venice.

Music in Venice in the 18th century: a women’s challenge

In the 18th Century, Venice became a revolutionary centre of music. While
theatres and opera houses thrived, the Ospedali competed as well, becoming
music conservatories where the real protagonists were women, in an open
challenge to the Roman Catholic Church. You will explore the role female
musicians and singers played at this time in Venice and understand how this is
connected to social assistance, as well.

           Venice and its essentials: your frequent questions!

Do you wonder how old Venice is? And why someone decided to build a city on
such an unfriendly environment as the lagoon? What is it like to live in Venice
nowadays? Is it true that Venice is sinking? Joining this online webinar will help
you answer some of the most frequent questions and appreciate the uniqueness
of this city built on water.

Venice and its art: a wonder of colours at the Accademia Galleries

The Accademia Galleries is an extraordinary painting collection in Venice featuring
art works from the early Gothic age till the late Renaissance, including
masterpieces by Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Jacopo Robusti called the Tintoretto,
Paolo Veronese and Titian. While sitting comfortably on your couch, enjoy a
selection of a few art works and explore in an entertaining way the reasons why
