Venice

The most beautiful city of the world ... the most romantic, plenty of magic and art. Albino Luciani was the Cardinal Patriarch. Lucky him, we might say ! But also a place with lots of problems  which he had to face. Nevertheless, how much he loved it !...

He also loved to make it known, to show it to his guests, to stroll through its streets, to mingle with the people, the tourists, when he got on the vaporetto or the gondola.

Venice of the thousand faces, always something to discover ...
