If you are in Venice be sure not to miss the exhibition "The Santillanas - Works by Laura de Santillana & Alessandro Diaz de Santillana", on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, opened until August 3rd, 2014 every day, except Wednesdays. Admission is free.

It’s a sunny Friday of early May. The climate is ideal for sightseeing and discover Venice and its hidden corners, as are doing thousands of tourists arrived from all over the world. We, instead, are in a waterbus, heading towards Campo Santa Maria Mater Domini: we have arranged a meeting with the glassmaster Igor Balbi in his studio.
