Venice map

 
View Larger Map

It’s still summer and we are now enoying it on the lake, but I have also help some friends of mine with this Venice Google map.
By now you can find all Views on Venice apartments, some supermarkets and a brief list of restaurants and osterie, but I’m still thinking which restaurants and other interesting places could be useful to add.

Calatrava update

calatrava july 2008

I took this picture last week.
The bridge seems indeed ready, but it’s not open yet.
Maybe the Venice administration is waiting for an inauguration day with the maximum of visibility.

Back in Venice

After a month with a different landscape.

NEW ARSENAL TOWERS?

Four big cement towers have pop up inside the old Arsenal walls since few months. Many were alarmed, worring new long lasting work (for the “MOSE”). But they are just plant support, once ready they will be put far away from Venice.

Calatrava bridge latest news

Tha Venice Major has promised that the Calatrava Bridge will be ready by the end of Jun.
So there are a lot of works around it now.

Lovely hidden corte

Just home

For someone is a Disneyland theme park, for other a museum,
but for few …just home.

Calatrava Bridge again

Works go ahead, but still there is not an inauguration day for the Calatrava Bridge.

 

Clock and meridian

It’s well known that in Saint Mark Plaza there is a big clock tower (with two moors on the top). Few steps far there is a more simple clock but very precise. It’s the meridian that is on the column on the Basilica north corner.

Cannaregio by night

The Cannaregio Canal, very noisy and crowded during the day, can be very charming by night.

These two pictures are taken from the same spot: the “Ponte dei tre Archi”
