💌 Comment “VENICE” and I’ll send you my FREE Venice Guide 🇮🇹✨
Did you know the Venice Film Festival is the oldest international film festival in the world? 🎬
It all started in 1932, long before the red carpets, the Golden Lion and the Hollywood stars arriving by boat.
And some of the most fascinating details of its history are hiding in plain sight. 🦁
From the meaning behind the Golden Lion to the island where the Festival actually takes place, Venice has so many stories beyond the postcard.
And that’s exactly the Italy I want to show you here. 🇮🇹
Not just where to go but the stories, traditions and little details that make these places unforgettable.
