Venetian Fruit Sellers

Painting Description

There is another world in Venice beyond the tourist path. In these quiet neighbourhoods, the pace of life is much more relaxed. People grocery shopping or meeting with neighbours for coffee or a glass of wine in outdoor cafes beside the canals emphasize the close, friendliness of a small town.

Our trip to Venice, where we embarked on a cruise ship, will stay in memory permanently. We had four days of cloudless skies and since we had been there previously, we made a point of investigating the neighbourhoods. We have read many books by Donna Leon, whose detective stories take place in Venice, so this was a chance to visit some of the back alleys and quiet quarters.
