<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This route was created as an itinerary for <\/span>children<\/b><\/span>. Soon, however, we realized that moms, dads, uncles, and friends have even more fun! And yes, because all along <\/span> Venice is famous for its parties, its carefreeness, its <\/span>music<\/b><\/span>… in short, the ability to <\/span>enjoy life<\/b><\/span>! In the eighteenth century it went so far as to celebrate the <\/span>Carnival<\/b><\/span> for 6 months of the year, and there were so many festivals that the other 6 months were used partly to regain energy, and partly to prepare for the next Carnival. Theater, comedies, concerts and shows… Venice has often been called an open-air stage, and the lightness and the <\/span>irony<\/b><\/span> with which we still know how to downplay the difficulties of life take us straight back to the comedies of <\/span>Carlo Goldoni<\/b><\/span>, or to the splendid, immortal <\/span>Stocking Companies<\/b><\/span>. Disguises, coded messages, strategy games but also gambling. Did you know that the <\/span>Casinos<\/b><\/span> (or casino, according to the Italian pronunciation) was born right here? At the Ridotto San Mois\u00e8, or Casino Dandolo. Today hotel Monaco & Gran Canal. There were outdoor games, which became entertainment even for those who did not participate, and other more <\/span>secrets<\/b>,<\/span> which were held in actual <\/span>clubs <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span>priv\u00e9s:<\/i><\/span><\/span> places seemingly anonymous, or set back from the main street, but beautifully decorated with stucco and frescoes inside. <\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>

Proposed itinerary<\/h4><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

From the meeting point (Piazzale Roma, Station or San Basilio vaporetto stop), the tour winds through the calli of Dorsoduro and Santa Croce, toward the hidden garden of Casino Zane<\/b>, today a research center on French Romantic Music, yesterday a place of play and solace. We disembark at Campo San Stin, often packed with children <\/span>playing mace and pindolo<\/b> or whizzing around on scooters<\/b>…watch out! The itinerary then unfolds between the Frari<\/b> church and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco<\/b>, to discover how the brethren bided their time while waiting for meetings… they certainly didn’t get lost in chatter!
<\/span>S<\/span>we will cover how the ladies of the 1700s used the <\/span>fly<\/b>, an artificial mole that could be applied to different parts of the face to signify different messages.
<\/span>We will cross the Bridge of Fists<\/strong>, which in spite of its name was the scene of games and shows, and then reach the well-known squero of San Trovaso<\/strong>, where our route will end in beauty with a Spritz, or a good ice cream at Nico’s.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
