Discover the fishbone-like shape Giudecca island, known to be Venice’s unofficial seventh sestiere, once an aristocratic retreat, later the city industrial centre and nowadays a trendy artistic district. Let’s walk through the largest and closest island to Venice, from which it is separated by the broad and deep Giudecca Canal enjoying breath-taking views on the splendid city. The peacefulness of the island also made it popular among religious communities and with patrician families who built palaces with lovely gardens and allotments there. You will see how after the fall of the Republic, these areas were converted into warehouses, barracks, prisons, factories and workers’ quarters, some of them nowadays converted for artistic ad modern purposes. You will be walking not only through the long pedestrian quay running the length of its Venice-facing side but also wandering its hidden lagoon-facing side with gardens, art galleries and residential neighbourhoods.

We will learn that its name does not come from one time jewish inhanbitants (an italian word for Jews is also Giudei) but from a Venetian word "zudega" meaning "the judged", referring to rebel aristocratic families banished here during the 9th century. In recent years, the large abandoned spaces attracted a new set of exiles: artists, who could no longer afford rents in central venice for their lofts and studios.

Es war eine schöne Tour, informativ und viel zu entdecken. Interessante Orte , schöne Palazzi und ein Parkhaus für Boote! Valerio hat uns zwei unbeschwerte Stunden beschert und auch schattige Plätze gefunden. Für uns waren die Tage auf Giudecca dadurch viel schöner, man hat sehr viel gesehen, abseits vom Trubel in Venedig zu dieser Zeit. wir können die Tour auf jeden Fall allen Neugierigen wie uns empfehlen. Nochmals Vielen Dank, Valerio! Liebe Grüße Kerstin & Gerd

Il giro che viene proposto è interessante e stimolante; Valerio conosce perfettamente la sua città e intrattiene con dettagli che non sono quelli dei soliti giri turistici. La Giudecca nasconde molti angoli unici che meritano la visita, e la guida sa intrattenere con grande gentilezza, simpatia e preparazione.
