Old people called Venice ‘Alter Mundi’, ‘another place in the world’. Venice was a city of a unique type that had never been seen before in the world, and was the richest maritime republic in the Mediterranean. The Venetians built a huge stone city by driving wooden piles into the Adriatic lagoon and layering bricks, pebbles, and flagstones.
In Piazza San Marco, which Napoleon praised as ‘the best drawing room in Europe’, there is a café, Florian, which opened in 1720. However, there is a separate cafe that curator Lim Seong-il recommends with great interest. On the other side of the square, the building that was also used as Napoleon’s office is currently operated as the Museo Correr, and right next to the museum is the Museo Correr Cafe, which only those in the know know about. It is a place where you can quietly enjoy the wonderful view of the plaza and the deep flavor of espresso at a low price.
Venice is made up of over 110 islands. Taking a water bus to explore nearby islands is the highlight of a trip to Venice. Taking the water bus number 17 (Vaporetto Ferry Line 17), which is mainly used by locals, to Lido di Venezia, where the Venice International Film Festival is held, offers a much richer view than a regular water bus.
After tasting the essence of Venetian seafood cuisine at Giudecca Island, we returned to the main island. You will encounter gem-like shops hidden within the maze-like medieval alleys. Libreria Acqua Alta, which means flood or high tide. It is unique to see books displayed on top of the gondola to prevent flooding during high tide. Acqua Alta, the rising sea level, has reached a level that threatens the survival of Venice. Accordingly, the Venetians spent a great deal of money and time to complete the historic project, MOSE. Go to the Adriatic Sea and see the modern-day miracle of Moses created by the Venetians’ will to live and challenge spirit.
