Unknown Venice

Get to know the unknown Venice

Is there a new way to explore an ancient and well-known city?
The answer is yes. Far from the multinational and noisy crowd of tourists, apart from the world famous Saint Mark square, a secret Venice exists. The unknown Venice is made of silent narrow calli, of quiet canals, of ancient stones which still have a lot of stories to tell.
In the glorious times of the Serenissima Republic, people who came back late at night used to pay a codega, a man who escorted them home carrying a lantern. Nowadays, you do not have to be afraid to get lost in its empty streets, cause Venice is definetely a safe city where to walk day and night.
No need to hire a codega!
Feel free to get to know the unknown Venice and take your time to listen to the stories of clandestine lovers, of political conspirancies, and of course the adventures of Casanova!
