There’s a cold, glacial snap in the air as the wind whistles across the lagoon. Time to zip up your winter coat; gloves, hat, scarf, useful too.

This is Venice, a city marooned between land and sea. A city forever anchored in the 15th century and yet, at the same time, surprisingly contemporary. A city of Shylock and Casanova, Byron and Browning, Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Guggenheim.

In just a few weeks the Biennale opens. A modern art festival drawing creativity and originality from all corners of the globe. Why not join me in Venice, this Biennale year. Prepare to be impressed and inspired, humbled even, in the presence of greatness.
