 to the offbeat side of her home country, to discover it through genuine experiences and human connections.

Check out her favourite spots in Venice Below.

Fav place to have breakfast or “merenda” (afternoon break). This tiny pastry and coffee shop is where I always start my day when I am in Venice. I discovered Tonolo many moons ago when I was in town often to visit my friends who were studying here. Every time I cannot resist getting at least 2 pastries, if not more. 

My local restaurant crush! The food is WOW and the menu has a lot of veggie options. I love the warm atmosphere and the wooden walls, so I recommend booking a table inside.

This little old fashion bar is the king of “tramezzini” (fresh sandwiches stuffed with different ingredients and TONS of mayo). This is my fav lunch spot and my place-to-go to grab a “tramezzino” for my trip back home before leaving Venice.

If you love books (and the smell of old books - something I could die for) visit this historical shop. A maze of bookshelves, vintage armchairs, old posters, retro postcards and tons of other random stuff, including a couple of resident cats!

Come here to have wine and fresh sandwiches with cold cuts. This is a spot where locals have their daily “ombre di vino” (little glasses of wine) from 6 AM to 8 PM…Venice rules!

Come here to hang out in the University campus area. Opt for a spritz at Bar Rosso or the “cicchetti” ritual (aperitif in Venice style) at Ai Do Draghi. 

Just another excuse to go to Venice. Every other year from April to November Venice becomes a living exhibition of contemporary art with worldwide artists exhibiting their works in different areas of the town. The theme for 2022 is ”The Milk of Dreams”: artists were asked to think of creative ways for a more sustainable coexistence between us as individuals and the universe we inhabit.
