Let's start with the most popular city in Veneto: Venice or Venezia in Italian.
It has a special place in my heart since I visited for the first time when I was 10yo with my parents. Then I avoided for a while 'cause if you don't really know where to go it can be a challenge, very tiring (you most likely walk around) and full of tourists and touristic spots that make it feel not authentic. BUT, there is a huge but here, Venice can be the most genuine, creative, sustainable & cheap place you'll ever been. Be ready to SAVE this map to avoid the most "commercial" areas and I'm sure you'll see this special floating city with different eyes. Enjoy.

Le Conturbanti
@unordinarycircle
IMPOSSIBLE not to fall in love with... the owners: Stefania & Marta! And obviously with their handmade - super colourful- clothing! Totally worth to stop by! They also owned a place called Conturbarea, a place where lots of workshops happen (check their insta for more info).

Le Maschiette
@unordinarycircle
The place is super nice and it has a small but very well done selection of vintage pieces. I got here a 50' black dress with a bow at the back that I totally love and keep reusing when I go dancing swing.
A place to go for a special piece to never forget in the wardrobe!

Can I say it's one of my favourite place to go when in Venice?! The vibes are absolutely gorgeous. You're going to have the best VEGAN aperitivo or lunch here! They have a small selection of natural wine of their own production. Do not forget to check out their book selection, rare finds for kids & adults!

Verona & its surroundings
One of my favourite city in Italy is Verona, for its tireless beauty every time you just look up. A part from the most famous spot, Juliet's House, I highly recommend to get lost in its little streets and follow the map to find few little shops with special things to get home as souvenirs.Â

Close your eyes and point your finger at any of the items in the menu. I’m not crazy, it’s just so good that anything you’ll choose I’m sure you’ll love it. Super tasty is not the only thing that will let me be back, the waiters are incredibly kind and fun!
Try their brunch & natural wine!
