A week of live streaming interviews
Visiting the artisans
From
May 17th up to May 23rd the three of us, Monica, Cinzia and Marialaura, with some colleagues and friends,
will be interviewing and filming not only places, but especially people: those
people that make Venice great. The Venetians normally seem to disappear, when compared with the grandeur of the Venetian palazzos and churches. Still, the city does not exit by itself: it is run, restored, kept alive by those people that live and work here.

It is people that make the difference!And this is what we would like to tell and show you!
During this virtual event we will
meet artisans, writers, museum directors, artists, musicians, bloggers, professional tourist guides, and a lot of other interesting figures of the Ve
netian culture.There will be topics for all tastes:
boats, Murano glass, Art, Carnival, activities for kids, food and drinks, fashion…
All this comes out of a genial idea by Thomas
of SofaTour, who is giving us the possibility to show Venice as we like it!

Our role as Professional Tourist Guides
As
Professional Tourist Guides we,
the girls of Guided Tours in Venice, feel that we have a mission to accomplish in our city, that is
to share its beauty and our knowledge about its history, art, culture, traditions, as to keep all this alive for the present and for the future generations.
We like to show
real life in Venice, along with its wonderful monuments. And we love to engage our guests in
great experiences all around the city.
Cinzia, Monica and Marialaura
Monica

working with children, taking them to fantastic
treasure hunts in the most iconic sites as well as in the
hidden corners of Venice. She is also a

The people who keep Venice alive
Similarly, those Venetians that we are going to interview have their own mission in town.
They all feel that their job is much more than a simple job: it is a way to pass onto
the new generations ancient skills and traditions, a way to preserve the memory of a unique culture, a way to keep Venice alive.
During this unique live streaming event you will
have to possibility to see Venice and the Venetians from a totally different perspective, that goes beyond the external appearance and reaches directly the heart of our city!
Do not miss it!And eventually,
come and meet all of us for real! Ciao
