VENETIAN TRYST
Brides Today|January - February - March 2023
From stone bridges thronged by visitors, to admiring golden mosaics inspired by legendary artist Titian; from quaint cafés and restaurants once patronised by Charles Dickens and Charlie Chaplin, to riveting art exhibitions, or just enjoying an al fresco vaporetto ride to neighbouring Murano...Venice is a city of many faces, and lots of vibrant style.
PRIYA KUMARI RANA
VENETIAN TRYST

Ah, Venice. The word conjures up placid gondola rides, the carnivalesque Piazza San Marco, dainty bridges, sublime architecture, and snaking canals. Once considered a Republic, with its own navy, and a world financial capital during the Middle Ages, this northeastern Italian city composed of over a 100 tiny islands was a place where traders sold silks and spice—remember Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice?—the birthplace of legendary lover boy Casanova, and the setting of many a film, from Visconti’s Death in Venice to Daniel Craig’s 007 on a caper with his lady love Eva Green through Venice in Casino Royale. As a James Bond fan, it was this film that sparked my curiosity about this city, and when I finally visited many years later, I did feel the thrill of riding a vaporetto (a water taxi), much like 007. On the Grand Canal with my family, with the sun on my face, I tried to capture with my iPhone the beauty of regal 13th-17th century palaces flanking the water (some of them now luxury hotels), the city’s largest town square the Piazza San Marco, with its towering brick-red campanile, the Basilica of San Marco, and the round-domed Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, and of course the famous Rialto Bridge.
