Erbaria #Bacaro
Produce and fish market by day and casual meeting place by night, the three squares that make up the Erbaria on the San Polo side of the Rialto Bridge create an informal meeting place for young locals and visitors alike.
At the center of the city’s daytime commercial and tourist activity, the bustling Erbaria begins to transform around twilight with the arrival of a gregarious pre-dinner crowd of young professionals.
Most of the small bars and cozy restaurants in the area offer outdoor seating and serve delicious cicchetti (finger foods) and spirits, creating a vibrant atmosphere perfect for barhopping.

Visiting Tessiture Bevilacqua #Experience
A WEAVING WORKSHOP WITH ANCIENT ROOTS: The roots of the Bevilacqua family in the textile world date back to 1499. Indeed, in that year Giovanni Mansueti painted The capture of St. Mark in the synagogue, mentioning the names of the noblemen who commissioned it: one of them was a certain “Giacomo Bevilacqua, weaver”. The actual Tessitura was founded by Luigi Bevilacqua in 1875, after recovering some looms and machines once used by the Silk Guild of the Republic of Venice. But according to some documents some Bevilacqua weavers were already there in the 18th century.
The company therefore carries on an ancient Venetian art, which declined during the 18th century and got back on its feet in the 19th, combining historical designs and techniques with a whiff of modernity.
Visiting Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua is possible. It’s a unique chance to see weavers and looms at work, while they produce the refined soprarizzo velvet, and to touch with your own hands a fabric made following ancient techniques.

Piedaterre #Shopping
A few steps from there we can complete our outfits with the “Furlane”, comfortable slippers signed Piedaterre. Born in the 1800 in the countryside of Friuli, they are extremely popular between gondolieri. Their soft and anti-slipping soles are ideal to avoid scratches in the gondole’s paint and keep balance while rowing. Made by women who recycled waste materials – like the shreds of worn-out long skirts -, Furlane enrich their style and broaden horizons in Venice. With an innovative touch, Alessandra and Renato created a variety of models and thought of unique chromatic patterns without ever forgetting the heritage of an historical tradition.
