San Michele cemetery in Venice, Italy. Part Two
San Michele cemetery - decorated tomb, Venice, Italy From the courtyard you can move on in many different directions. We chose the nearest gate and there we saw a small, contemporary part of the cemetery with ordinary graves - nothing really special. We have read somewhere that San Michele is supposed to be the resting place for the Venetians only for 10 years. After that time the ashes are moved to some other cemeteries.

San Michele cemetery in Venice, Italy. Part One
When you stroll along Fondamenta Nuove you can see San Michele cemetery - an island so different from the rest of the Venetian islands.
It’s not very lively here, you know;-))

Nevertheless, it’s worth the short trip from Fondamenta Nuove.

The cemetery looks much smaller on the outside than it really is.

Venice curiosities - part two
Well, it’s high time to take care of Venice curiosities for the second time;-)
What was omnipresent in Venice was renovation. The cranes standing here and there but most of all the canvas! No, no, there was not any art exhibition on this occasion, although… Well, to get this straight, I mean the canvas they put on the buildings that are being renovated. Nothing strange in that? I’m afraid you are wrong.
