Overview

Venice

From Verona to Venice, there isn't a single city in Veneto where water doesn't play a major role. Responsible for its wealth and reason for being, it is the fundamental element of this region. Veneto's diverse art scene, just like the range of its gastronomic products, are reflective of a land that has built its reputation on its rivers and the sea. In Venice "La Serenissima" (literally 'the most serene'), under Juliet's balcony or between the lines in 'Odi and Amo' by Catullus, the real protagonists are the Adriatic Sea, the Adige and Po Rivers, and Lake Garda. It is thanks to the fertility of the region that the province of Verona produces wine as good as any in Piedmont. It is also at the heart of this damp environment, in the Po Delta Park, that a thousand species live and in its water basins that you can see the reflection of the Dolomite valleys.

The region is full of surprises. The cities and the land blend into one panorama whose major strong point is the diversity linked to its history. Padua's network of arcaded streets and its university (the second biggest in Italy, after Bologna) played host to Dante; the city of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas hold a cluster of works by the architect Andrea Palladio; and Belluno was the birthplace of Dino Buzzati, as well as his home until he left for Milan. Millions of people flock to this region every year to visit these sites; a beautiful testimony to the artistic energy exuding from this diverse, green, and elegant land.
