View from the rear of a taxiboat looking behind. Clear blue sky, clear blue water and a V in water whirling because of speed. And of course an Italian flag, probably Venetian.

A canal in Venice goes under a small arched footbridge. The arch creates a shadow cast beyond the bridge but light enters underneath and creates a reflected arch showing the side of a building and it’s windows.

Between the 16th and 19th centuries, composers like Antonio Vivaldi and Nicola Popora taught music to orphaned girls at Venice's four Ospedali Grandi. For @TheConversationUS, musicologist Marica S. Tacconi tells the story of how, on a visit to one of the smaller Ospedali, she and singer Liesl Odenweller found, painted in a fresco, a page of sheet music, which will be performed in a concert this December.

Almost everything about Ezra Pound was controversial: his poetry, his writings, his politics, his relationships, his friendships, his madness, and even his death, which happened #OTD, 51 years ago, in Venice.

I came across his grave earlier this year on San Michele, the atmospheric cemetery island in the Venice Lagoon.

"And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a fieldmouse
Not shaking the grass."

Photography. Color photograph of a bronze sculpture on a shore in Venice. The figure is a black man carrying a travel bag. The figure is connected to the lower body only at the arm. You can see through the man as the lower body and one arm are completely missing. He is practically torn in half, revealing a view of the ancient buildings of Venice. Impressive.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 101

The problem with Martin Gayford's new book, Venice: City of Pictures (2023), is that its neither one thing nor another. It picks up many themes/issues from #arthistory but shies away from really developing these in detail, But,, equally there is too much #art & not enough more general discussion of #Venice the city for a recent visitor. Gayford seems unable to make up his mind what book he wanted to write & this falls between the stools

Painting of a blue canal in Venice, Italy, with a boulevard on the left of the canal, and high buildings on both sides of the canal. The water in the Kanal has touches of green and brown in it. There is a brownish orange bridge over the canal. The boulevard is light grey, and there are several colourful people walking on it. The buildings are coloured in shades of yellow, white and orange. The sky is blue with some white clouds.

I am frequently amused that, in German-language #folklore , the boundary between dwarves and Venetians can be rather fluid.

Indeed, they are often called "Venedigermännchen" - "Little Venetian Men". In this particular tale, one is described as being one span high - a mere 20 cm or so!

A question for scholars of the #history of #Italy :

Do you know of any good sources on the history of the mining concerns of #Venice in the Renaissance and Early Modern periods, in particular how they acquired the rare minerals for their famous glass production?

It's okay if the sources are in #Italian - I am trying to learn the language.

Aphrodite is pouring a libation into the phiale (libation bowl) held by her lover Ares over an altar. A servant or child stands behind her on the left.

Aphrodite, dressed in a long chiton or peplos with a veil is holding it in the manner of brides while pouring a libation over an altar into the phiale held by her lover Ares, dressed in a chiton and himation but with armour in the form of a crested helmet and his leg guards. A shield leans on the ground to his right. A child or servant stands behind Aphrodite to the left.

Venice to start charging visitors entry fee next year (Reuters).

"Venice plans to experiment with an admission fee of 5 euros($5.35) for day trippers next year to try to manage the flow of tourists drawn to its historic canals, the city council said on Tuesday.

The fee will be applied on a trial basis on 30 days next year, focusing mainly on spring bank holidays and summer weekends when tourism numbers are at their peak. All visitors over the age of 14 will have to pay it.

The aim was to find "a new balance between the rights of those who live, study or work in Venice and those who visit the city," Venice tourism councillor Simone Venturini said."
