Location of Residenza Goldoni
|
Amidst the boarding houses in Venice, the Residenza Goldoni,
is situated in the heart of the City, a short
distance from the Rialto Bridge and 200 metres
from the arrival point of all Vaporetti (water buses) coming
from Piazzale Roma, from the railway station and Tronchetto.
From here, guests can reach the Residenza without crossing any
bridges; characteristic and not unusual for all the other boarding
houses in Venice. For centuries, the Rialto area has been seat
of the picturesque Fish Market and the lively
Fruit and Vegetable Market. With a short walk, visitors can
find themselves in St Mark’s Square and
admire the treasures of the Marciana Cathedral,
the magnificent rooms in the Ducal Palace and
sip a famous cup of coffee at the Caffè Florian,
in the shade of the bell tower of San Marco or “Paron
de Casa” (padrone di casa) or host as described by the
Venetians.
A few metres from the boarding house, the Chiesa (Church) di
San Salvador, rises up splendidly and contains
a marvellous Renaissance interior, which keeps
safe many masterpieces, including: The Transfiguration by Tiziano,
positioned on the main altar, and his famous Annunciation. Next
to the church, there’s the Telecom Italia Future Centre,
seat of important art and technology communications exhibitions.
In a few minutes, guests can reach some of the main locations
of the music and cultural scenes: the Goldoni Theatre,
which offers important theatrical representations, amongst which
the work of the famous Venetian comedy playwright, Carlo Goldoni;
the Malibran Theatre, small 18th Century jewel,
which hosts the Chamber Music season in Venice

POINTS close to RESIDENZA GOLDONI! |
 Saint
Mark's Basilica: beautiful Venetian church with 5 domes
looks like the ancient church of Costantinopoli. It was embellished
during the early centuries of the last millennium and particulary
in the thirtheenth century when Venice dominated Mediterranean
culture and economy.
The church, built to represent the power of Serenissima, is
externally embellished with marble, mosaics and bas-relief:
all maded with precious materials came from Bisanzio, Aquileia
and Ravenna. Internally, the church has a Greek cross plan with
domes substained by big columns.
But the most amazing fact of this church is that the architectural
structure is perfectly hidden by the beauty of the mosaics... |
 Rialto
Bridge: Till thirteenth century Venice was built on a groups
of islands separated by channels and to get on the other side
were laid down wood boards. Later many bridges were built in
Venice but no one of them joining the Gran Canal's banks.
This was a big problem for the Establishment so that population
was always teasing it about this promise.
Competition had been won by Antonio da Ponte who thought
a unic arch bridge, 48 meters long and 22 meters wide. Foundation
was started in 1588, and it took some years to finally join
the opposite part of the Gran Canal and subsitute the previous
wood bridge that many times collapsed before. To get an image
of this previous bridge look at the famous painting by Carpaccio
"Guarigione di un ossesso")... |
 Ca'
D'Oro: Once upon the time was considered one of the most
sumptuous buildings of Venice for the beautiful colours of its
facade, Ca' D'oro knew an unlucky period becouse of the several
restorations made during five centuries of history, till baron
Giorgio Franchetti bought it at the end of XIX century to create
an art gallery.
Inside it's possible to admire masterpieces by Mantegna, Diana
and Carpaccio. Besides there are many paintings of Flemish school
and what remain of the decorations that one time made beautiful
the facades of the buildings near the "Canal Grande"
(main channel of Venice). |
