Tour description

Did you know that Venice was also built by women ? On this tour, we'll discover the crucial role played by queens, writers, musicians, businesswomen, and thinkers in the history of the Republic.

We'll begin in the tranquil setting of San Zaccaria to discuss the "confined women" and Sister Arcangela Tarabotti , one of the first critical voices against the imprisonment of women. Strolling through the Castello district, we'll learn about the lives of working women and shopkeepers, recalling Goldoni's famous play .

We will stop at the Church of San Giovanni e Paolo to discover the figure of Dogaressa Giovanna Dandolo and understand the political role of women in Venice. At the Ospedaletto, we will remember the young orphaned musicians who captivated all of Europe.

In Campo Santa Maria Formosa we will talk about Caterina Cornaro , Queen of Cyprus and a key figure in Venetian diplomacy, as well as the painter Giulia Lama , who left some works in this church, and together with the Fondazione Querini Stampalia we will approach the fascinating life of Veronica Franco , a writer and cultured courtesan.

We will finish in front of the Jesuit church evoking Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia , the first female doctor in modern history.

A different tour to discover Venice from a feminine, cultural and surprising perspective.
