San Giorgio Maggiore is a beautiful and historic island located in the Venetian lagoon, just a short boat ride away from the bustling city of Venice. It is home to the magnificent San Giorgio Maggiore Basilica, designed by the famous architect Andrea Palladio in the 16th century.

The Basilica is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, with its majestic white marble facade, elegant Corinthian columns, and soaring dome. The interior of the church is equally impressive, with its ornate altars, frescoes, and sculptures. The highlight of the interior is the painting "The Last Supper" by the famous artist Tintoretto, which adorns the high altar.

Aside from the Basilica, San Giorgio Maggiore also offers breathtaking views of Venice and its surrounding islands. Visitors can climb to the top of the bell tower for a panoramic view of the city, or take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful gardens of the island.

One of the best ways to experience San Giorgio Maggiore is by taking a guided tour. Knowledgeable guides can provide in-depth information about the island's history, architecture, and art, bringing the place to life and making the visit more engaging.

Overall, San Giorgio Maggiore is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Venice. Its stunning beauty, rich history, and cultural significance make it a unique and...

Just a short vaporetto ride from the bustling city of Venice, this island is famous for its iconic church, the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, with its elegant facade, majestic dome, and classical proportions.

One of the highlights of visiting San Giorgio Maggiore is ascending the bell tower, which offers panoramic views of Venice and the surrounding lagoon. From the top of the tower, you can see famous landmarks such as St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, and the Campanile di San Marco, as well as the picturesque islands scattered throughout the lagoon.

Aside from the basilica, it offers a tranquil retreat from the crowds of Venice. The island's peaceful atmosphere, lush gardens, and waterfront promenade make it the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a leisurely stroll or a...

Durante una splendida giornata a Venezia, abbiamo deciso di vivere un’esperienza unica e suggestiva visitando l’Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, un luogo di straordinaria bellezza che racchiude arte, architettura e silenziosa contemplazione. Un piccolo gioiello affacciato sulla laguna, proprio di fronte a Piazza San Marco, ma lontano dalla folla e dal trambusto turistico. Il nostro itinerario è iniziato con la scoperta del celebre Labirinto Borges, un luogo incantato e simbolico, progettato in onore dello scrittore argentino Jorge Luis Borges. Camminare tra i suoi intricati percorsi verdi è stato al tempo stesso divertente e poetico un gioco mentale che ci ha fatte sentire dentro una metafora letteraria vivente. Le siepi ben curate, la pianta studiata con grande attenzione e i riferimenti alla filosofia borgesiana hanno reso la visita un momento di riflessione e leggerezza, in perfetto equilibrio. Successivamente, ci siamo addentrate nel Bosco con le Vatican Chapels, un percorso immersivo tra arte contemporanea e natura. Accompagnate da una ragazza gentilissima discreta ma presente, sempre disponibile a rispondere alle nostre domande abbiamo potuto esplorare, con l’aiuto di audioguide, questo affascinante itinerario durato circa 50 minuti. Le cappelle, progettate da celebri architetti internazionali, sono disseminate lungo un sentiero che si snoda tra gli alberi,ogni struttura racconta una storia, evoca spiritualità e invita alla meditazione. Il contrasto tra l’architettura moderna e il silenzio del bosco rende l’esperienza quasi mistica, come se il tempo rallentasse ad ogni passo. Non potevamo poi concludere la visita senza entrare nella magnifica Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore, capolavoro palladiano che domina l’isola con la sua maestosità. L’interno è luminoso e solenne, con linee classiche e un senso di equilibrio perfetto. In conclusione, la visita all’Isola di San Giorgio è stata molto più di un semplice tour, è stata un’esperienza emozionante, ricca di significati e meraviglie. Un luogo dove l’arte, la natura e il pensiero si fondono armoniosamente. Lo consigliamo caldamente a chiunque voglia scoprire una Venezia diversa, più intima...
