The cycle of virtual guided tours with the guides of the platform “The Grand Tour” resumes in Autumn. 8 online guided tours centered on Italian Art, from Venice to Titian and Tintoretto, from the vestiges of Roman Art to the artistic traditions of Christmas.
The first appointment, in English, will be dedicated to “The Secrets of Venice: Corte Sconta, the Hidden City“.
Venice is often associated with mass tourism, gondolas, and pesky pigeons, but there is a hidden world filled with art, beauty, adventurous travellers and Eastern merchants, reckless nobles, and unrepentant courtesans, saints, and furious painters waiting to be unveiled. In the “corte sconte,” meaning hidden courtyards, of palaces, churches, and narrow alleyways, another city lives—a city that once reigned supreme over the seas and trade: La Serenissima.
Join us on this virtual tour off the beaten path to discover extraordinary places like the Basilica of Saints John and Paul, the Jesuits, the Scuola Grande di San Marco, and the stories of commanders and incredible figures who made Venice great. From Santa Lucia to the Frari, from Dorsoduro to the Guggenheim, to the marvelous Venetian palaces and churches, sunken crypts, and mad marquises—this tour is filled with stories, incredible characters, and countless places, forming a true Venetian mosaic. Unmissable.
The virtual visit with guides from the platform “The Grand Tour” will be held on Zoom.
