I had the occasion to participate to the Mostra Internazionale di Architettura in Venezia, Italia (may, 2025). I spent 15 days in the city and had a lot of time to walk around when I was not at the biennale. I fell in love with Venezia, its ambiance, its liveliness. Some friends told me "After 3 days, you'll be tired of the place" - well, I was not, and I would absolutely go back. My accomodation was located in Castello, on Campo Ruga.
