@chefshanu: venice, july '23 — part two: the city outside the classroom 🇮🇹 part one was the cooking class at the gritti (it's up on my instagram) — this is everything else. the days around it. you don't drive into venice. you float in — the airport run is a speedboat across the lagoon, wake behind you, city appearing out of the haze (slides 1–2). then you round the corner and there it is, all at once, from the water (slide 3). piazza san marco does not feel real. napoleon supposedly called it the drawing room of europe and standing in it you get why — it's not a square, it's a stage set that happens to have pigeons (slides 4–5). then it rained, the tide came up through the paving, and the square turned into a mirror — the basilica doubled in its own floodwater (slide 6). nobody panicked. nobody even hurried. everyone just waded through it like venice does this every day, because it does (slide 7). east of the crowds it goes quiet — the arsenale gates, working canals, laundry lines (slide 8). the back canals are the venice i'd move to: no queues, no noise, just water and brick (slide 9). and golden hour from the accademia bridge is the whole argument for the city in one frame (slide 10). the view from that bridge, water doing what it does (slide 11). best free thing in venice, and it isn't close: the rooftop terrace at the fondaco — book the slot, go up, get the grand canal bend to yourself (slide 12). you're welcome. part one = the class. this one = the city. next stop on the italy run: florence. 🇮🇹 🎵 "funiculì funiculà" — taller de música coral · cc by-sa 4.0 #VeniceItaly #Venice #ItalyTravel #VisitVenice #ChefTravels
