GONDOLIERS’ ASSOCIATION
One of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about Venice are the many gondolas that populate the canals. But have you ever wondered what it’s really like to be a gondolier? Andrea and Benedetta from the Gondoliers Association give us a sneak peek into their world, filled with tradition, innovation and the joyful vibes of Italian aperitivo. From cruising through the winding canals to swapping stories about Venetian life, they share the ins and outs of their job with passion and charm. Now, it’s even clearer why every gondola ride is an exciting adventure.
WAVE MURANO GLASS
Two other iconic symbols of Venice are undoubtedly Murano glass and Aperol Spritz, and surprisingly they do have something in common. We spoke with Roberto from the Wave Murano Glass factory, who – with his expertise – shared the secrets behind these two Venetian arts. He told us all about the dedication of his crew and their exclusive, special and unique work worldwide – through centuries-old traditions, modern craftsmanship and perfect aperitivo moments.
