We have fantastic news to share with our Truly Venice readers!

Before we begin about the Mose, we first would like to extend our warmest wishes to friends and visitors from around the world. This year has certainly hampered travel plans for many, but we look forward to hosting you when you can return. More importantly, we want you to know that we are wishing you well, and hoping for a healthier and happier 2021 ahead.

Thanks to the Mose, Venice Is Finally Dry for the first time!

After quite the nervous wait, Venetians were thrilled to see the very first implementation of the Mose project successfully block a super high tide on October 3, 2020. The Mose is a dam system that was built to protect Venice and its surrounding islands from over- flooding. This accomplishment means everything to Venice’s numerous museums, churches, businesses, and beautiful palazzi that previously struggled with maintenance from the salt water exposure. And for our visitors: you no longer have to worry about wearing shoe protectors or traversing those crowded walking ramps on days of ” acqua alta “!

Witness Venice’s Enchanting Change of Seasons

For those of you who are able to travel, now is an exceptional time to visit Venice. In this moment, you’ll observe the peaceful transition of Autumn’s vibrant skies that slowly fade into an alluring fog as we near Winter . This period also classically marks the downturn of tourist season, which ironically makes it the smartest time to see the city. But with the quieter levels of tourism recently, the sense of intimacy you experience within the city is only amplified. Once again, you can hear Venetian children’s laughter echo in the campos, the inner-city canals are less crowded with gondolas, and you’re more likely to pass someone speaking the local tongue in the calles rather than a foreign language.Venice has truly returned to itself, and we invite you to come and see!
