"One always takes
for granted that Venice
is the ideal city for
a honeymoon, but
this is a serious error. Living in Venice, or simply visiting it, means to fall in love with it, and there is no space left in the heart for anything else". (Peggy Guggenheim) |

"The black, sleek gondola, and the way in which it moves, light, without any sound, retains a strange character,
a dream-like beauty, and is an integral part of the city of idleness, love and music. In no other city like Venice have I found such a unity between contemporary life and the life which speaks to us of the works of art of its golden age, and in which sun and sea are more essential than all of history". (Hermann Hesse) |

"This is the land where grapevines always prosper, under the nude mountain peak where the dark-green vegetation safeguards and restores them".
(San Venanzio Fortunato) |

"Wine is one of the most
civilized things in the world
and one of the most natural
things of the world that has been
brought to the greatest perfection,
and it offers a greater range
for enjoyment and appreciation
than, possibly, any other
purely sensory thing."
(Ernest Hemingway) |
