Sharing a weekly moment of serenity. On a bench in the restful Ca’ Rezzonico garden, I look to my left and St. Mark’s lion keeps watch on me from the green hedge row. #Venice Member, Venice in Peril veniceinperil.org

Delightful read for my Saturday morning. Loved your line about "...enormous pleasure by just being in the same space and time with other human beings doing a simple human thing." quoting from Evelyn's diary & remembering Hockney 😇

Nearly a decade ago, in 2017, I wrote a post "Where to Find Pleasant Tourists in Venice" after Venice was in the international press for Tourists Behaving Badly. I found some good ones in Ca' Pesaro at the David Hockney exhibit. RIP, colorful soul🙏->venicegazette.com/2017/08/wh…

Sharing a weekly moment of serenity. At peace, circling the church in Campo San Giacomo dell'Orio, a quiet weekday ritual after morning coffee. #Venice Member, Venice in Peril veniceinperil.org

A Canaletto evening in one of the prettiest squares in Venice, Italy.
The beautiful facade of the white building, the Scuola Grande di San Marco, is the work of Pietro Lombardo and Mauro Codussi, in the 1400s. It’s now a hospital. (My 📸)

Venice Saturday special, celebrating what interesting items you find on walks in Cannaregio. For this you need to go inside for some groceries (and wine) at the reconverted Teatro Italia and take in those frescoes by Pomi and Marussig.

Sharing a weekly moment of serenity. Idle walks in San Pietro di Castello, and doorway art always delights you, and you feel welcomed. #Venice Member, Venice in Peril veniceinperil.org

Venice Saturday special, celebrating what interesting items you find on walks in Cannaregio. An afternoon sit on a bench for a rest at Parco Groggia on this quiet afternoon, staring at some said remains of a demolished Palazzo Donà.

Sharing a weekly moment of serenity. Winding my way through Dorsoduro to visit Chiesa Angelo Raffaele. Most afternoons are lazy, so you can take as long as you like and still arrive before it closes. #Venice Member, Venice in Peril veniceinperil.org

#Venice. Spring rain, rather too much of it. Though now of course it's clearing, leaving me dressed for a blizzard.
