  1. Venice day 1: both my favourite terraces, ten exhibitions and pigeon shit on my sleeve.

    First things first: If you want to have a cup of coffee by the Grand Canal without going bankrupt, try cafeterias of Ca'Pesaro and Ca'Rezzonico museums. Note: there's a bridge from Ca'Rezzonico vaporetto stop straight to the terrace, but not all maps show it.

    Lorna Simpson and Jenny Saville were impressive (totally recommended), Marina Abramovic not so much unless one is really into crystals, Lydia Ouhramane subtle and beautiful (do read the leaflet), Kiki Smith cute, warm and brilliantly displayed, Helter Skelter interestingly, even though a tad old-fashionedly, political and Glasstress is always an interesting and beautiful showcase of use of glass in contemporary art.

    Do remember that pigeons can shit on you even in covered places, like terraces. Should this happen at Ca'Rezzonico, there's a toilet large enough to wash the sleeve in privacy and hand dryer strong enough to dry it in a few seconds. So that you know.

  3. So, my cheap accommodation in Venice, part one: a camping site in Fusina, Mestre side, with a straight ferry connection to Zattere on the main island. I have a cabin, compact but comfy, good bed, slept very well.

    Downside is, the ferry only goes once an hour, and the last one back this time of year leaves the island 19:30.

  4. Expulsion of the Venetians (c. 787)

    In this letter from pope Adrian I to Charlemagne, dated to c. 787 or shortly after, the pope confirmed that, as requested by Charlemagne, he had ordered all Venetians expelled from the lands of the former Exarchate around Ravenna and in the Pentapolis.

    The expulsion of the Venetians from the lands of the papacy happened in the early years of the reign of duke Giovanni (787–804).

    According to the letter, the Venetians were to be expelled, lose all established rights of residence and trade, and have all property, including church property, confiscated.

    If the decision was carried out as described in the letter, it must have had a notable impact of the Venetian economy, as it would severely restrict Venetian trade along the Adriatic coast and up the river Po, to the entirety of the vast Po valley.

    The usual Venetian sources for the period don't mention the events at all, which leaves the sensation that whatever happened, the outcome wasn't exactly glorious for the Venetians.
