Venice

Venice, the city of the channels, is the capital of the region of Véneto. It is located on a set of islands that extends in a marshy lagoon in the Adriatic sea, between the mouths of the rivers Po and Piave in the northeast of Italian. Venice is composed by 120 small united islands to each other by 800 bridges.

The most popular celebration of Venice is the Carnival whose tradition goes back, possibly, to the 11th century when Venice began to dominate important portions of the Mediterranean Sea. It is in the 18th century when the Carnival of Venice reaches its maximum point. Aristocrats of all Europe went to the Carnival in search of diversion and pleasure.

Famous people like Marco Polo, Antonio Vivaldi, Giacomo Casanova, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri, Pietro Gabrini, Giorgione, Antonio Canal, el Canaletto Tiziano Vecellio, Francesco Guardi and Emilio Vedova lived there.

Some famous places are San Marcos place and basilica, bridge of sighs, bridge of the academy, basilica of Saint George, gallery of the academy, the great channel...

In my opinion I think that is a beautiful place with a lot of great places to visit. I recommend visiting Venice.
