Golden Globe - Season 1 Episode 56 Venice

Every house a monument, every church a treasure, every bridge a monument: Venice is a timeless masterpiece, wrested from the lagoon and its menacing floods. 1000 years of cultural history, closely packed on a few dozen sand islands - carved in stone, painted in oil, immortalized in frescoes. Venice is the most beautiful man-made place. St. Mark's Square is the center of the Venetian universe, the Grand Canal the lifeline. Magnificent treasures of creativity can be found especially in the sestriers of San Marco and San Polo around the Rialto Bridge, while in Cannaregio and Dorsoduro you can still admire a lot of the original, authentic life of the islanders. At the Regata Storica, the »Serenissima« dresses up and celebrates its maritime heritage. On the beaches of the Lido, the promenade of the rich and beautiful, the Venetians relax from the daily hustle and bustle. Murano and Burano, colorful islands in the neighborhood, maintain their very special traditions.
