Ponte dell'Accademia

built in 1933, to replace a previous iron bridge built by the Austrians in 1854 to shorten the transit from Piazza San Marco to the newly built Santa Lucia Railway Station. At the time it was the second bridge that crossed the Grand Canal, given that previously only the Rialto Bridge, completed in 1591, allowed crossing the great lagoon artery.The decision to build it was taken quickly, but the speed with which the work was carried out was astonishing: having begun on 10 December 1932, the bridge was already assembled on 15 January 1933: thirty-seven days, including holidays. Another month passed before the inauguration, due to the installation of gas pipes along the arch. From the bridge you can admire a splendid visit to the Grand Canal with a privileged view of the Chiesa Della Salute

The camp is named after the church of St. Barnabas. Campo San Barnaba is an emblematic square in Venice, where the church of San Barnaba is located. The architecture and history of Campo San Barnaba make it an ideal place for culture lovers. The square is not only a historical landmark, but also a popular place for everyday life and cinema. The Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Campo San Barnaba, is not a traditional museum but an exhibition dedicated to the genius of this Renaissance master. Scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Campo San Barnaba is inseparable from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The famous adventurer, played by Harrison Ford, enters a library that is none other than St. Barnabas Church, transformed for the occasion.

Campo Santa Margherita

The artistic spirit is what defines this neighborhood populated by street artists, students, painters, sculptors, restorers, curators, historians, collectors, heirs and heiresses in close contact with each other. Peggy Guggenheim's collection, now transformed into a museum, attracts the chicest locals in the evening for artistic aperitifs. Traditionalists and visionaries revel in the most bohemian luxury. To the east, the Basilica della Salute acts as a buttress to the neighborhood. Gondolas sway in the morning light. The Accademia bridge crosses the Grand Canal. A side street turns into a basketball court. When they are not the home of the Venetians, the palaces host universities, such as Ca' Foscari, or museums, such as Ca' Rezzonico, with its concert halls popular with locals. Commuters prefer this place to have an aperitif in the evening before returning from work

Scuola Grande Di San Rocco

The Scuola Grande di San Rocco is a large building on two floors, with three rooms open to the public, two large and one small.For travelers who are not art enthusiasts, the visit to the Scuola Grande di San Rocco may be more interesting than that of the Accademia Galleries, given that, even if it does not have many works and is smaller, the architecture of its building it is, for us, more beautiful and majestic.
