Hotel Panorama faces the
Venitian Lagoon in front of S.Mark's Square
|
The hotel Cà Formenta is found at one end of Via Garibaldi and
is easily reached from Marco Polo airport and Santa Lucia Railway
Station. Because we have our private wharf we suggest, for convenience,
to come to the hotel by motorboat taxi, it is slightly more
expensive (around € 80.00 from the airport and around € 45.00
from the station), but it is certainly the more scenic and convenient
way to arrive. Alternatively ,there is public transport from
the airport, the shuttle "Alilaguna" leaves every hour from
8.00 a.m. to midnight. The nearest stop to the hotel is "Arsenale"
two bridges to the right and you have arrived. From the Train
Station Santa Lucia (and from the Piazzale Roma for those arriving
by car) we advise taking the line ACTV n° 51 or n° 61. Get off
at the "Giardini" pier, pass the first bridge on the left, continue
along "Riva dei Sette Martiri" up to the hotel. Another way
is to take the line ACTV n° 1 and follow the Grand Canal, a
very beautiful, romantic journey of about 45 minutes to the
wharf "Arsenale" just after St. Mark's Square, two bridges to
the right and one is at the hotel! Via Garibaldi can claim to
be the heart venetian life, unlike the area around St. Mark's
Square it has not yet been invaded by mass tourists. The many
coffee houses and famous restaurants of the area are crowded
mainly with venetians who come here to escape the hustle and
bustle of the plaza, after all it is only ten minutes away.
Nearby one can see the "Padiglioni" of the International Biennale
Exhibition of Modern Art, a must for art lovers. In conclusion,
here is a corner of Venice, well known to the Venetians, still
to be discovered by many tourists but ensuring your visitors
won't leave disappointed.

POINTS close to HOTEL CA' FORMENTA! |
 Saint
Mark's Basilica: beautiful Venetian church with 5 domes
looks like the ancient church of Costantinopoli. It was embellished
during the early centuries of the last millennium and particulary
in the thirtheenth century when Venice dominated Mediterranean
culture and economy.
The church, built to represent the power of Serenissima, is
externally embellished with marble, mosaics and bas-relief:
all maded with precious materials came from Bisanzio, Aquileia
and Ravenna. Internally, the church has a Greek cross plan with
domes substained by big columns.
But the most amazing fact of this church is that the architectural
structure is perfectly hidden by the beauty of the mosaics... |
 Saint
Pietro's Basilica: This church was the cathedral of Venice
'till 1807, when Saint Mark's Basilic became the religious centre
of the city.
San Pietro was rebuilt on a previous building of the seventh
century a.C. and dedicated to San Pietro by the bishop Magno.
Original building, as appears nowadays, it's the result of a
remake, partially completed, based on a project by Palladio.
Here, seignory used to come the eight of January to commemorate
the end of the pestilence in 1630. In memory of all the episodes
of plague that threw Venice and the entire Europe into confusion,
also San Lorenzo implora l'aiuto divino per la liberazione
di Venezia dalla peste del 1447 by Antonio Bellucci painted
in the end of 1600. |
 Saint
Giorgio's School: The School took its name by the Dalmatian
community which became a corporation in 1451 with the patronage
of saints George, Jerom and Tryphon.
It was officially opened in 1451 and testifies the presence
of the Dalmatian (Schiavoni) community: Venice always trades
with Dalmatia during its history. This School would probably
be anonymous now if Jerusalem's patriarch had not gave the S.
George's relic to the commander of Venetian fleet in 1502. At
the same time, Carpaccio, was charged to realize some paintings
dedicated to the saints Agostino, Matteo and Giorgio: masterpieces
where Carpaccio reached the perfection of its art.
School was closed as the other by Napoleon's edict. |
