This is where I grew up, and where I live, where my husband and I got married and our kids moved the first steps. But all this is not historically relevant! What matters is that Cannaregi hosts the oldest Ghetto in the world, now a lively square where kids skate and play , surrounded by synagogues and kosher restaurants.

Here in Cannaregio lived some of the greatest Venetian masters, Tiepolo, Titian and Tintoretto (who painted the largest painting in the world!). You can still see their works in the places where they belong: Madonna dell’Orto, Sant’Alvise, Gesuiti, wonderful yet still unknown by most.Yesterday and today, the areas around the Ghetto get lively after sunset …Anyone fancies a spriz?
