Thanks to an entrance ticket, everyone can see Venice from its highest tower, St Mark’s bell tower: it is in fact one of the few in Italy to have a lift and the view from the top is unmissable, with an enchanting view of the square and the city. The campanile is in fact set in the context of St Mark’s Square, which includes the basilica itself and the Doge’s Palace: a concentration of history, art and wonder over the lagoon.

L’esponente più eccentrico della corrente del Modernismo catalano, Antoni Gaudí, è anche l’architetto dietro alcuni dei luoghi di interesse più celebri di Barcellona, come la Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell e numerose opere di architettura civile, come Casa Batlló, Casa Milà e Casa Vicens. Il biglietto per le tre case di Gaudí in città consente di scoprire il genio dell’artista spagnolo nella progettazione, ma anche nella decorazione degli interni, che insieme a tutte le opere di Gaudí da vedere a Barcellona è espressione del suo stile stravagante ed estremamente personale.
Sewing the Sail is an early masterpiece by Sorolla, a Spanish artist who participated in the 1905 Venice Biennale and devoted his entire life to the description of bright, Mediterranean landscapes.
Before being exhibited in Venice, this grandiose painting had already experienced great international fame as it had been exhibited both in Munich and Vienna. The far-sighted purchase of the city of Venice in 1905, however, made it possible for the work to become part of the collection of the International Gallery of Modern Art at Ca’ Pesaro, where it is still located today.
