March 2021

On 25th March 2021, Venice celebrates its 1600th birthday!

According to the tradition, the first Venetian settlement originated in 421 by San Giacometto church, the first church to be built in the Rialto area (Rivus altus):

«...la chiexia di San Giacomo di Rialto, la qual fu la prima chiexia edificata in Venetia dil 421 a dì 25 Marzo, come in le nostre croniche si leze.» (Marin Sanudo, diarii, 1514).
