I believe the photos speak for themselves. However, if you want to see and read more, you can have a look at my two books on Venice in the iBookstore, Venice Images and Reflections and Reflections of Venice. You can get a generous free preview of each if you like.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Two videos. The first is the gondolas at the bottom of St. Mark’s Square, bobbing up and down at night. A beautiful, calm scene. The second is more lively! Groups of excellent musicians play outside the various cafes in St. Mark’s Square. This one, outside Florian, was the best we saw.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
