Venezia - L'ultimo giorno

[london1967]

In the morning we went to Ca' Mocenigo di S. Stae, which used to belong to one of the great Venetian families, and which we had visited once before about 10 years ago.
The palazzo houses a collection of costumes and fabrics. At present instead of Venetian dresses from the 18th century, it hosts a temporary exhibition of Edwardian and Art Deco dresses from all around the world.
All of this under the stern stares of a number of doges and other distinguished member of the family.

It was lovely and just the right size (large museums give me museum-itis!)


(Getting lost in Venice is very easy and to make things slightly more complicated, the house numbers are not per street but per sestiere i.e. neighbourhood!)

Adrian (london1952) really enjoyed his 6th trip to Venice with me (8th, if you count two family day trips in the 60s and 70s).
I think that if he had the chance he would be very happy to become  venice1952 !!
And he would fit in very nicely too. I'm sure that he loves Venice more than many Venetian themselves. The English love being on islands... and the romantic decay. 

We had time for a trip on the vaporetto to the Lido taking in usual and unusual sights




After a light lunch with view on the Lido 


it was time to get back to the B&B for our luggage and to go to the airport.

Thank you Venezia for another romantic visit.


We'll be back!
