How beautiful. We were in Venice in September and I wondered what it would be like in the winter and around Christmas. Thank so much for sharing your life and your beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite city in Italy you are so lucky to live in such a wonderful city. The city never looked so beautiful. I am sure you recapture your city this time of the year when all the visitors are gone. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year.
