“I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve returned to Venice, yet it never fails to leave me in awe. It is not a large city, but its presence feels immense. I still remember my first visit in the ’90s, discovering there were no roads—only footsteps and boats. I chose to walk then, as I still do now, moving slowly to absorb its quiet beauty. Along the way, I’ve gathered a few pieces from Venice’s neighborhoods, and I’m bringing them back for you.”
