The greatness of Venice was not built solely by Doges, merchants, and Admirals. Among the alleys of San Polo and Santa Croce, we will discover the stories of extraordinary women who fought for their independence: the Ponte delle Tette, the Corte delle Carampane, and the peaceful squares of Santa Croce serve as the backdrop for a unique narrative long hidden by time.
A guided walk through intimate alleys and hidden corners, stepping away from the crowds to discover how Venetian women sometimes enjoyed unique rights and freedoms.
