| THE LOCANDA ARMIZO, AN ANTIQUE RESIDENCE OF VENETIAN MERCHANTS NOW CONVERTED INTO SIX WELCOMING ROOMS FINISHED IN TYPICAL VENETIAN STYLE, ALL WITH A PRIVATE BATHROOM, AIR CONDITIONING, TV AND TELEPHONE. THE RECENT RENOVATIONS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT TO ENSURE THAT OUR GUESTS LIVE THE MAGIC ATMOSPHERE OF VENICE, NOT ONLY AS TOURISTS, BUT ALSO AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS UNIQUE AND INCREDIBLE CITY. YOU WILL FEEL VENETIAN DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF YOUR STAY, WE HAVE MANY DIFFERENT ITINERARIES READY WHICH WILL PERMIT YOU TO DISCOVER THE HIDDEN PLACES USUALLY NOT FREQUENTED BY THE TOURISTS, *BUT NOT FOR THIS REASON LESS FASCINATING THAN THE USUAL TOURIST SIGHT*. ALL THE STAFF HAS A WIDE EXPERIENCE IN HOTEL BUSINESS AND SPEAKS ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH AND SPANISH AND WILL GUARANTEE YOU AN UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY. THE WORD *ARMIZO* IN THE OLD VENETIAN LANGUAGE, MEANS *MOORING*. WE ARE, IN FACT, IN CAMPO SAN SILVESTRO, ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CHARACTERISTIC PIAZZAS OF VENICE, ONLY TWO MINUTES FROM THE RIALTO BRIDGE AND ONLY A FEW STEPS AWAY FROM THE GRAN CANAL, WHERE IN ANCIENT TIMES SHIPS USED TO MOOR IN ORDER TO UNLOAD THEIR MERCHANDISE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR SELLING AT THE RIALTO MARKET. THE ZONE IS REALLY CENTRAL, BUT THE TRANQUILLITY IS ABSOLUTE. FROM HERE IT IS EASY AND QUICK TO REACH ALL PARTS OF THE CITY. |

VENICE IS ONE OF THE MOST ENCHANTING AND ROMANTIC
CITIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD, HISTORICALLY THE
CENTER OF THE MEDITERRANEAN COMMERCE.
FIRST TIME VISITORS EXPERIENCE A BARRAGE OF
UNIQUE SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND EVEN SMELLS THAT INVADE
THE CANAL AND SIDE STREETS.
ST. MARK*S BASILICA, THE DOGES* PALACE AND RIALTO
BRIDGE SPAN THE MEANDERING GRAND CANAL.
THE SIDE STREETS ARE FILLED WITH BUILDINGS
CENTURIES OLD AND EVEN THE TINY CANALS ARE ALIVE
WITH THE PASSING OF THE GONDOLA.
ACROSS THE ACCADEMIA BRIDGE, YOU CAN VISIT THE
GALLERIE WITH MANY MASTERPIECES.
TRAVEL BY VAPORETTI *WATER BUSES* IS EXCELLENT
FOR SIGHTSEEING.
GONDOLAS ARE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE ALTHOUGH LESS SO
ON THE SMALLER CANALS.
TO VIEW THE STUNNING LAGOON YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE
THE LIFT UP THE CAMPANILE *THE BELL TOWER* SAN
MARCO.
BOAT TRIPS CAN ALSO BE BOOKED TO MURANO, BURANO
AND TORCELLO.
THE MERCERIE IS SITUATED BETWEEN ST. MARK*S AND
THE RIALTO, FULL OF ELEGANT BUT EXPENSIVE SHOPS.

RIALTO BRIDGE.
THE VENICE BIENNALE IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY
CULTURAL SOCIETY CONCERNED WITH VISUAL ARTS,
ARCHITECTURE, DANCE, MUSIC, THEATRE AND CINEMA.
THE BIENNALE ORGANIZES EXHIBITIONS *THE
INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION, THE INTERNATIONAL
ARCHITECTURE EXHIBITION, AND THE MOSTRA
INTERNAZIONALE D*ARTE CINEMATOGRAFICA, I.E. THE
VENICE FILM FESTIVAL* AND LIVE PERFORMANCES OF
DANCE, MUSIC AND THEATRE.
SINCE THE 1998 REFORM, THE BIENNALE HAS AIMED TO
RELAUNCH ITSELF NOT MERELY AS A LARGE EXHIBITION
CENTER, BUT ALSO AS A WORKSHOP FOR ARTISTIC
EDUCATION AND PRODUCTION, DEVELOPING PERMANENT
PROGRAMS OF ACTIVITY.
SAN POLO IS ENCLOSED BY THE WIDE LOOP OF THE
GRAND CANAL.
SAN POLO IS VENICE*S SMALLEST SESTIERE BUT IT
INCLUDES THE MOST LIVELY PART OF VENICE RIALTO.
ACCORDING TO THE TRADITION RIALTO, SINCE OLDEST
TIMES, WAS ONE OF THE CENTERS OF LIFE IN THE
VENETIAN ISLANDS, WHERE THE FIRST INHABITANTS,
HAVING ESCAPED FROM THE MAINLAND, AVAILING
THEMSELVES THE FIRMER AND HIGHER SOIL, AND
THEREFORE SAFE FROM FLOODS, CONCENTRATED THEIR
TRADE.
RIALTO WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT CENTER OF THE NEW
GROUP OF ISLANDS, AND RIVO ALTUS *HIGH BANK*, THE
ANCIENT NAME, WAS INDEED THE NAME OF THE WHOLE
TOWN UNTIL AFTER THE YEAR 1000, WHEN IT
EVENTUALLY TOOK THE NAME OF VENICE.
