Overview

Explore a hidden side of Venice on this 1.5-hour walking tour focused on passion, art, and secret lives behind the city’s beauty.

Starting at the Accademia Bridge, a painting by Canaletto introduces 18th-century Venice and its social world. The walk continues to Campo San Samuele, where theatre, ambition, and figures like Giacomo Casanova reveal the city’s culture of seduction and social mobility.

Passing through Sant’Angelo and Campo Santo Stefano, the tour highlights Venetian women—musicians, actresses, and courtesans—and the role of Antonio Vivaldi and the Ospedali in shaping their visibility.

The route touches Mariano Fortuny’s home, explores hidden passages and Venice’s nighttime life, and focuses on Veronica Franco, poet and honest courtesan.

The tour ends at the Rialto Bridge on the Grand Canal, in front of the plaque honouring Elena Caterina Cornaro, the first woman to earn a university degree.

A walk into Venice’s artistic and emotional soul—beyond appearances.
