Italia Park Inform is an independent gazette for visitors to Venice. It is not a hotel desk, a tour operator or a garage. We do not take advertising. We do not recommend businesses in exchange for anything. The pages are researched from official notices, standard histories and walking the ground.
Why "park"
The name is a little awkward, which we will live with. The public gardens in Castello, the pines on Sant'Elena and the lagoon islands are part of how a visitor actually uses the city. Cars stop at the edge. The rest is walking, boats and a few genuine parks. That is the beat.
How a page is made
Each article starts with a place you can stand in. We prefer a date, a name and a measurement to an adjective. Italian toponyms stay in Italian. Where a figure moves, such as a boat timetable, we point to the operator instead of freezing a number on this site.
