The floating city of Venice is one of the most sought-after
romantic
destinations of the world. It is also a European city that
possesses
evident traces of an enormous cultural heritage, as it is rich in
architecture and works of art that are most impressive. There
are
palaces, and close to 90 churches and plazas which are
commonly
called campi, that are host to timeless frescos, stained glass,
statues and sculptures.
Your model represents a typical image of eternal Venice with its
canals on which gondolas gracefully glide under the arched
bridges,
caffes that sit on sunny, waterfront terraces and ancestral
buildings anchored the water. There is so much water in
Venice that
boats are the only means of transportation. Ambulances,
firefighters, police, taxi drivers and even trash collectors use the
waterways. When in a rush, you can take a yacht which is the
equivalent of a taxi. For sightseeing or simply to admire the
scenery, hop on board a floating bus called a vaporetto. Let's
not
forget the eternal gondola - the nautical barouche for newly-
weds of
all ages - propelled by a gallant, pole-wielding gondolier that
can
take you all the way to Rome!
