Key Points:

Getting Lost in Venice:

  • Tommaso shares that getting lost in Venice is not an accident. The city is designed to disorient you.
  • When you get lost in Venice, you start to feel the history in your bones.
  • Head to the smaller neighborhoods to avoid crowds. The smaller the alley, the better.

    • Amazing Food:

    • Tommaso and Kimberly had an amazing lunch in Venice at a place that only has one seating from noon to 2 PM.
    • Tommaso said he had the best mussels of his life.
    • Kimberly enjoyed a spicy red tomato sauce with shrimp pasta and dark bread.
    • They found a bar on a quiet canal to enjoy a scotch ( OBAN!) .

      • Leonardo da Vinci Interactive Museum:

      • This museum is not a dusty art museum. Everything is interactive.
      • The museum shows how one man’s mind worked.
      • Leonardo designed flying machines, hydraulic systems, military inventions, surgical tools, and astronomical instruments.
      • Tommaso discusses Leonardo’s 33-barreled organ gun, which solved the problem of slow reloading 15th-century weapons.
      • Kimberly points out that Leonardo invented surgical tools.

        • Piazza San Marco:

        • Tommaso and Kimberly visited Cafe Florian in Piazza San Marco, where they danced alone 30 years ago.
        • There was a four-piece band playing in the Piazza, and everyone applauded after each song.
        • Tommaso encourages parents to take away their children’s phones so they can experience the magic of Piazza San Marco.

          • Unexpected Encounters:

          • Tommaso visited a bookstore called Mare di Catta, which is both a bookstore and a publisher.
          • He met the owner, Christina, who is a native Venetian and is fluent in several languages.
          • Christina knows Andrea Valicelli, a naval architect who designed yachts, and Tommaso hopes to interview her about Venice’s maritime history.

            • Join Tommaso and Kimberly as they share their unique experiences in Venice, offering a different perspective on how to explore this historic city.
