Once a recognized Mediterranean power, in the 18th century the ancient Republic of Venice was withdrawing into itself.
In this age of political and economic decline, not the same could be argued about its citizens’ social life... this was the golden age of libertine writers, scandalous ladies and lascivious Carnivals.
But Venice was also a romantic place for hidden relationships, a time for lovers and courtesans, and the time of Casanova.
In this walk back in time through the centuries, you will enjoy a collection of spicy stories narrated while walking in the Rialto area of the city, filled with places with long stories and rich histories behind, tales told often in murmurs...
