Venezia
I recently won a £500 scholarship to go to Venice to visit the Mariano Fortuny Gallery and see the beautiful architecture. I spent 4 nights in a lovely bed and breakfast close to San Stefano and visited a few churches and galleries and spent the rest of the time enjoyed the lovely scenery and stunning buildings and lagoons.
I watched a documentry set in Venice called 'Ugly Beauty' which featured art critic Waldemar Januszczak arguing that beauty is still to be found in modern art. He chose to set the programme in Venice because he also finds the ghostly lagoons intruiging and magical. He described the lagoons as being 'a gorgeous hazy atmosphere of nothingness'. He also loved the beautiful texture, colour and depth of the crumbly buildings and bridges.
