On a foggy early morning, arrive by boat at the City of the Doges.

Notice that the Lake City is slowly awakening.

Be stunned by the splendour of the buildings that plunge their feet into the water at dawn.

To spy on the life that gradually gushes forth from all sides.

Take advantage of the first rays of sunshine to climb to the top of the Campanile.

Gain some height and observe the swarming of boats unfolding below.

Enjoy the view of the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute which overlooks the city from the end of the Grand Canal.

Come down from the Campanile and discover the Acqua Alta which discreetly enters the famous Piazza San Marco.

Enjoy the crowd reflected in the square.

To be amazed at the Basilica of San Marco, which looks out over the waters.

Imagine for a moment that the great painters went through here to create this striking décor.

Penetrate further into the now submerged City.

Wondering whether the water is not spreading over the city in this way to provide an additional opportunity for buildings on stilts to be reflected in its reflections, like mirages that now extend to infinity.

Fall under the spell of Lorenzo Quinn’s work: two monumental hands emerging from the waters and enclosing the Hotel Ca’Sagredo.

Meditating in the sun on the quay in front of the stunning work and hoping that art will save the world.
