| The Grand Canal |
Venice was in the news this week as an online poll showed support for the region to seek independence from the rest of Italy. Apparently there are many Venetians who want to return to the days of the Republic of Venuto, as it was known from the 7th century until it fell to Napoleon in 1797. A referendum vote is planned and while it will not be legally binding, it may cause some turbulent times ahead. We had the opportunity to spend last weekend in Venice and enjoyed the calm before the storm as no cruise ships were in port and the canals were peaceful and uncrowded.
