Live guide: English, Italian
Boost your appreciation of Venice with this special guided tour by staff from the National Trust for Italy. An expert guide will lead to way, to discover a hidden gem in St. Mark's Square designed by Carlo Scarpa.
The Olivetti Showroom in St Mark's Square was built by the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978), who designed this dazzling showroom in quite an eclectic style! Wander around the ornamental fountain and check out the vintage typewriters. Get your head around the staircase with strangely offset sections, and see how your shoes look against the blue Murano glass squares on the floors.
It's a stark and peaceful contrast to St. Mark's Square, roaring outside the windows.
