Talk about the Grand Canal would be like narrate the entire world. It must be seen more times, in different hours. In the light of the dawn and of the sunset. Aboard some boats of Veneto, on top of one of the four bridges (Accademia , Ri ' Alto,  Scalzi and Constituzione) or coming out from one of the many small landing.
