@jolocktov @DreamOfVenice @jamescappio You're right JoAnn. I began looking at the housing market: this figure seemed more relevant. I should have specified. Figures for 2019 daytrippers I found ranged from 15M to 23M - an inexact science!

Is Venice overcrowded? Of course it is, and locals suffer the fallout. My take. @TelegraphTravel @Fairbnb_coop @michelascibilia https://t.co/AQlfgQDFcg

@sallydaviesjr It's like LM's stepfather (84). Major brain trauma last Sept, still keeps falling over and is constantly disorientated. But he's deemed "not age-appropriate" for a CT scan. Really?

Sounds most unlikely!

@2rista @sallydaviesjr Here too (Umbria, Italy) though my fave is and always will be "Poo Through the Post" (colon cancer detection).

ACTV prices are going up on Sept 1st. But until Dec 31st you can buy 1, 2, 3 and 7 day passes at the old price IF you buy online at least 30 days in advance. E.g. buy a 7-day pass to use starting Sept 9th NOW for 60€ instead of 65€ when you get to Venice. Buy at @veneziaunica.

I stayed with wonderful Giannina as a teenager. She rowed me round the canals in her boat: not a gondola... a wide-hulled rowing boat, to force gondoliers to make way for her!

[Fondazione Querini Stampalia @QueriniVenezia]

È dai ricordi di Giannina Piamonte, figura importante della cultura veneziana del secolo scorso, a cui è dedicato l’Auditorium della Fondazione, che trae spunto l'esposizione bibliografica all’ingresso della Biblioteca: un’occasione di scoprire come si facevano “I bagni al Lido”!
