About the event
Venezia is the Queen of the Adriatic; La Serenissima; maritime Republic of 1,000 years; a vast museum; a triumph of human will over nature; once a beehive of espionage; the luxury and pleasure capital of Europe; the mecca of extraordinary personalities; and zenith of all Grand Tours. Yet, even today, Venice remains in so many ways an enigma. Our guide will be Carla Gambescia, author of the acclaimed book La Dolce Vita University: An Unconventional Guide to Italian Culture from A-to-Z, a rousing tribute to Italy, Italians and a culture that has contributed so much to the world.
