VENETO
VENETO
Veneto, a region with a thousand different faces, is the custodian of natural, artistic, and traditional treasures.
The principal attractions are the Dolomites, the most spectacular range of Alps, the cities of Verona, scene of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Padua, with its famous frescoes by Giotto and Mantegna and of course Venice with its typical “gondola”, Byzantine architecture and sumptuous places.
The typical scenery of Veneto’s coast is the Venetian lagoon, and, right on this very lagoon stands perhaps the most unique city in the entire world.
