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 ...
Venetian feasts and the gondolas
