S. Marco's square
San Marco, as for Venice is the heart of the village. The project is realized by one of the most talented artist: Andrea Cascella. The square…the god of Aristotle, the law of dynamics and static…in unstable balance between action and might.

Via Del Molo.
Food chain is the name of the huge sculpture, 140 m.x 6 realized by Emmanuel Chapalain. An homage to the material: rebel and solemn stone, to the sea and his laws.
The French artist has played with the granite and gone along with his wishes, without defeated him, He harmonized him and the granite, now, recounts.
The casbah, darsena and surroundings
There is a piece of "Serenissima Republic of Venice" in the dreams of the founder.
A little, tiny, amazing Venice who makes dreams and smells of Mediterranean Sea.
