The Feast of the Madonna of Salute is the most Venetian of holidays, filled with spirit & grace. We would be flooded this year if it weren’t for MOSE; you can feel the stillness. Here’s a post from 2019 “Venice After the Flood-Wisdom of the Black Madonna”-> venetiancat.blogspot.com/2019/11/veni...

Don’t feed the dolphin! UPDATE: Venice’s resident dolphin, now known as Mimmo isn’t leaving. He’s been out to sea, but always comes
back & seems to prefer the Bacino. We don’t know why. So, Luca Mizzan, head of Venice’s Museum of Natural History, gives some rules: www.facebook.com/reel/6844301...

The bridge across the lagoon to San Michele, Venice’s cemetery island, is still bustling through this weekend. As of yesterday, about had 50,000 visited the ancestors. Still checking on Dante’s Barque, but we think it’s being restored-> venetiancat.blogspot.com/2019/11/hono...

Massimo Cacciari spoke about Wars & Peace last evening at a full house at Ca’ Giustinian, La Biennale headquarters in Venice. I told our former mayor who is about to get married at age 81, “Massimo, you’ve given new hope for love” & he smiled & tweaked my chin

Today the sky was the color of a solar eclipse as thousands walked across the floating bridge in the Venice lagoon to the Island of San Michele to visit the ancestors on All Saints Day. From 2019 (Dante’s Barque is still sunk)-> venetiancat.blogspot.com/2019/11/hono...

That sounds like a rich childhood. I met Tobias Scarpa, Carlo’s son, in 2020 when he was 85 & he was charming. There’s a new space in Treviso: venetiancat.blogspot.com/2020/10/ca-s...
