VENICE: CHURCHES, PALACES, MUSEUMS, a wonderful holidayToday's Venice is more than ever a city devoted to

art, in all its forms. Historic art can be seen in its

numerous museums, which display the mostbeautiful original works of art by the artists who

gave a major contribution to the history of art.

By taking a simple walk you will find yourself

surrounded by palazzi and churches whose

architectural features turn them into an open-air

museum. Moreover, once every two years Venice

holds one of the most important exhibitions in the

world on contemporary art: la Biennale di Venezia,

which acts as a springboard for today's best artists

and their work.

The Theatre "La fenice" (which has been

completely rebuilt at last) and the numerous

Auditoriums scattered all over the city offer many

shows. Classical music finds in Venice its ideal

setting, as the city is a natural choreography thatgoes perfectly with symphony and chamber music.

Venice is also known as the "City of lovers" because

the absence of cars allows people to take long and

serene walks, reached only by the sound of water

washing the shores. Venice is suitable for the

youngest tourists and the more mature ones, as the

city itself inspires the rules of intimacy amongpeople.

It lacks the amusements typical of all large cities,

there are no huge discos (only one, which is very

nice actually), but it is rich in places where you can

eat the typical Venetian "cicchetti" (small portions

of food usually served with aperitives) and drink anexcellent "spritz" (aperitif), maybe listening to some

great musicians playing jazz. Obviously, the most

restless ones can always go to the mainland, at few

kilometers from Venice, where some of the most

beautiful discos in Italy can be found, and for those

of you who love gambling, Venice hosts one of thebest Casinos in the world. One of the most

extraordinary events is the Carnevale di Venezia

which draws in hundreds of thousands visitors from

all over the world. For about 10 days the streets are

painted with the most incredible colours and masks.

In this period Venice is the quintessence of

entertainment and music.

Restaurants in Venice are famous for their culinary

skills, especially for their fish specialities. Prices are

always displayed in showcases outside restaurants

so as to allow people to choose places they can

afford.

Getting into Venice is very easy, no matter howyou choose to move. There are large parking lots

but it is a good idea to choose and reserve a place

before you arrive, just to be sure that you find a

place where to park and at a fair price. Another

possible solution is to park your car on the

mainland, in Mestre, from where you can count onfrequent connections all day long, and slightly less

frequent ones late at night, and reach Venice in 10

minutes.

In Venice there are hundreds of hotels, hostels and

B&Bs that offer a wide range of categories and

prices. Should all hotels be full up, or if you findVenice too expensive, you may choose to find an

accomodation in Mestre because, as already

mentioned, it really is very close to Venice.

The railway station is located right in the centre so

arriving by train is indeed an excellent solution.

HistoryOur hospitable Island, from 1131 until nowadays...

Founded in 1131 with the purpose of encouraging the recovery of the soul and spirit, the crescent-

shaped San Clemente Island served as a starting point for religious pilgrims and soldiers setting sail for

the Holy Land.

The original monastery where San Clemente

PalaceHotel & Resort now exists was home

to a succession of religious orders and rebuilt

by the Camaldolesi monks in 1645 with

the financial assistance of Venetian nobility.A new pavilion was added in the

20th century, and over the centuries the

island has maintained its atmosphere as

an inviting and peaceful oasis overlooking

the city of Venice to the Giudecca, with

the Lido in the foreground.

The restoration of the buildings, executed with the utmost respect for their historical and artistic

heritage and the natural beauty of its surroundings, retains the atmosphere of its ancient origins, with

frescoes and an impressive Renaissance faade. All traces of the islands history have been preserved inthe tradition of a grand hotel for the most discerning traveller.

The centuries-old ParkTwo thirds of the Islands six

hectars are green, openair spaces

which compose our centuries-old

park.

Great care and respect have been

kept to maintain the original

typology of green areas: the

perfumed linden trees which

have inspired San Clemente

Palace fragrance by Laura

Tonatto cypresses, elms and

nettle trees.

Many are the courtyards among

the Hotels wings, such as the

Clock Courtyard or the Plane

Trees Garden, one of the best

garden in Venice.

San Clemente ChurchWhen history, art and culture merge together.

The Church of San Clemente, founded in 1131, is adjacent to the Hotel and is one of the citys most

interesting cathedrals its past tightly woven with the great families of Venice who were its patrons.

As the Island prepared for its new destiny as a heaven for international travellers, the Church has

been restored with artistic works that served as evidence of the islands glorious history. Dedicated to a

Pope who was lost at sea and very dear to the Venetians hearts, the original structure was built in the

Romanesque style with

a single cross nave,

but was enlarged and

embellished in the late

15th century with

artistic works that can

still be enjoyed today.

The Camaldolesi monks,who lived on the Island

until the suppression

of religious orders in

1810, supported new

projects and

improvements to theChurch and monastery.

A wealthy and powerful

Venetian patron family, Morosini,

sponsored the restoration of the

Churchs faade in 1452. They

entrusted the work to Andrea

Cominelli, who placed busts andcoats of arms of the Morosini

family above the portal, and set

statues of Sts. Benedict and

Romuald among the soft

Renaissance lines and symmetries

of the stonework, and added abeautiful Madonna and cherub

into the molding to frame the

arch.

Francesco and Tommaso Morosini also commissioned sculpture relief battle scenes on the faade

celebrating their familys conquests in the war against the Turks. A cedar sculpture of Madonna that

has belonged to the church since 1646 resides above the altar. Among the other restored treasures in

the Church remaining today are paintings and frescoes by artists, including Giovanni Segala, Pietro

Ricci, Francesco Ruschi and others whose names may not be known, but whom experts consider to be

among the best pupils of the Venetian school.
