Adrift in Venice
The floating city seen from the water and its quiet corners — the Campanile and the dome of the Salute rising over the lagoon, gondolas moored along the Grand Canal, and narrow side canals mirroring weathered palazzo walls. Up close, the Gothic tracery of Ca' d'Oro and the bronze horses and golden mosaics of Basilica San Marco, then indoors among the Renaissance paintings and gilded ceiling frescoes that fill Venice's palaces and galleries.
