Shop through botteghe and tiny shops and find artisanal souvenir and objects, listening to the story of these businesses often started by family members who transmitted their knowledge to others with passion and love for their work.
Venice, in addition to being a city of art, has always been a city of artisan excellence and creative talent. For more than 1,000 years the hands of masterful Venetian craftsmen have been creating precious and refined objects: mosaics, glassware, fabrics, jewellery and perfumes. Even today, Venice is brimming with ancient know-how that cannot be found elsewhere in the world. Innovative boutiques and concept stores are flanked by artisan studios, where masterpieces in glassware, pearl, gold, paper, and leather are created; there are even ateliers of historic masks and costumes, artistic kilns, antique tailoring and weaving workshops, woodworking shops and printing studios, graphic design studios where unique products can be found.
You will visit some hidden are of the city, finding historic workshops, creative designers, and sophisticated boutiques standing amidst art galleries, antique shops, and luxury bazaars that sell original accessories for interior decor, wood or ceramics ateliers, as well as historic cafés and pastry shops, gourmet kiosks and delicatessens, herb and spice emporiums, splendid florists and greenhouses.
