Grand Canal, Venice Italy

 

The Grand Canal in Venice is iconic.


We can probably thank Francesco Guardi for that.


He began sharing its beauty in the 1700’s.


 Monet did his bit too.


No wonder it’s a tourist mob scene these days!


The buildings in Venice date back to the 1300’s, when the city was at its peak.


Venetian Gothic Architecture is a confluence of the Gothic,


Byzantine and Islamic styles.


The city was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987,


and is sometimes referred to a living museum.


But recently a renovated mansion – the Palazzo Dario was listed for sale.


Unfortunately, it may be cursed.
