LEVANTINE VENICE
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Past Retreat Day – June 2015
„Fairy Tales in Real Venice“
Created by La Venessiana:

An early morning walk. A fine summer day
in late June 2015. Discovering secret and
not-so-secret links between Venice and the
Levant. Byzantium. Levantine breakfast
with Turkish coffee. Cappuccino for some.
The specialty - apple-marzipan filled
cornetto. Plus, La Venessiana’s “Culinary
Venessián” language course. .
Fruity berry cakelets. Fresh
from the Dolomiti mountains.
Hazelnut cornetti. And torta
greca, of course.
Telling the lives of Greek,
Dalmatian and Levantine
merchants. Their hanging
kitchen gardens and summer
soup recipes.
Tales on the 53,000
inhabitants of Byzantium, and
their heritage to their new
hometown Venice.
Visiting botanical treasures of
this part of town. Figs and
olives. Silk trees.
Unearthing ancient Greek
recipes, passed on exclusively to Venetians..
Discovering
secret gardens
with giant water
lilies.
“Was there a market
place in Levantine
Venice. Like a souk or
bazaar? If yes, are there still traces ?”
Now this is a real treat. We look for shade
in a citrus grove. Looks like it is miles
away from the crowds. All you hear is
chirping birds. We enjoy a leisurely
aperitif in this luxurious oasis,
called Vivaldi‘s Garden.
Visiting the most ancient church
in this area. Its archeological
and exhibition sites. Telling the
story of Venice three thousand
years ago. Tales of origins –
whose origins? We participate
in the process of unearthing
lost history.
Back in the heart of Venice.
Origins re-discovered..
Visiting the home of a
dogal family, intimately
connected to the Levant.
Finally, we are heading for lunch.
In the oldest hotel lounge in Venice.
It‘s a light, Levant-style, spicy fish
soup. For Venetians used special
spice mixtures in summer.
This Retreat Day will be also
available as book (e-book and
print) from June 2016.
