Lucia Scarpa Tour Guide

ABOUT ME

My name is Lucia Scarpa: my surname already tells part of my story, as it is the third most common in the Venice region, and it says I am a local, a true Venetian. Actually, to be precise, my roots are in the island of Murano, world famous for its artistic glassmaking, and where I was born and raised. My ancestors on my mother’s side, the Miotti family, have had an important art glass factory since the 1500’s, and are honoured by having a street in Murano named after them.

I currently live in Venice proper, a city I love deeply, a city that I live every day, a city that fascinates me more every day.

“There’s a town in this world,
so beautiful, yet so strange,
that it seems a playful mirage
and a vision from the deepest heart.

Enveloped in a rosy veil,
it sits with its churches, palaces, gardens,
suspended between two blues,
that of the sea and of the sky. (…)

Heart of a lioness, enchanting face,
you, Venice, the twice sovereign:
offshoot of strong Roman virtue,
bloom of all Italian grace.”

SOME OF MY ITINERARIES

“Venice is such an extraordinary city that it is impossible to imagine it without having ever seen it.

No maps, plans, models, descriptions will suffice: it simply needs to be seen. All cities in the world are more or less similar to each other: Venice is different from any other.” .
