MAGIC ISLANDS

Murano, Burano, Torcello, Piazza S. Marco

 

  1. Murano
    Rather than a single island, Murano is a cluster of interconnected islets. Renowned for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition, it’s a captivating destination where artistry and craftsmanship come to life in every furnace and showroom.
  2. Burano
    Nestled in the northern part of the Venetian Lagoon, Burano stands out for its brightly painted houses, strong fishing heritage, and ancient lace-making techniques. This charming island offers a vibrant and colorful atmosphere, with its leaning bell tower adding a unique touch to the skyline.
  3. Torcello
    Torcello exudes peace and serenity, offering a break from the busy streets of Venice. As one of the oldest settled islands in the lagoon, it’s a place where visitors can explore historic landmarks and enjoy the quiet beauty of early Venetian civilization through its art and architecture.
  4. San Marco Basin
    The San Marco Basin is one of the most iconic waterfront spots in Venice. With its panoramic view of St. Mark’s Square and the city’s stunning architectural treasures, it offers a breathtaking backdrop that perfectly captures the rich heritage and romantic allure of Venice.

WILD NATURE

Sant’Andrea, Sant’Erasmo, Lazzareto Nuovo, Lio Piccolo.

  1. Sant’Andrea Island
    This tiny island in the Venetian Lagoon is home to the impressive Fort of Sant’Andrea, a 16th-century military structure built to protect Venice from naval attacks. Though small in size, it played a significant role in the city’s defense system and remains a fascinating site for history enthusiasts.
  2. Sant’Erasmo Island
    Often called the “green lung” of Venice, Sant’Erasmo offers a peaceful retreat away from the city’s bustling crowds. Known for its rich agricultural landscape, the island comes alive during two annual celebrations: the May festival honoring the violet artichoke, a Slow Food delicacy, and the grape must festival in October. With its four-kilometer stretch of scenic paths, it’s perfect for leisurely walks or cycling.
  3. Lazzareto Nuovo
    Originally a Benedictine monastery, Lazzareto Nuovo was transformed in 1468 into a quarantine station, known as the “New Lazzaretto,” to distinguish it from the older hospital on Lazzaretto Vecchio. Ships arriving from potentially plague-infected areas were held here, making it a vital part of Venice’s public health system during the Serenissima Republic.
  4. Lio Piccolo
    Lio Piccolo offers one of the most scenic landscapes in the northern lagoon. Surrounded by open waters and salt marshes, the area is rich in wildlife. Depending on the time of year, visitors may spot flamingos, herons, cormorants, terns, mallards, and elegant egrets in the nearby Paleazza valley. It’s a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers alike.

THE BOAT

Vittorio Amadi – his name is inextricably linked to shipbuilding.
A precursor since he was the first to introduce marine plywood in the Burano shipyards and to update the old lines of transport boats to new needs.
Born in 1929, a master shipwright and son of an artist (his father Giovanni had worked for Gabriele D’Annunzio while his brothers Agostino and Achille are also well-known master shipwrights), in 1956, he founded Cantieri Amadi Vittorio snc in Burano, where he lived.
