DESTINATIONS

Palazzo Diedo
The newest outpost of the Berggruen Institute,
headquartered at the Casa dei Tre Oci on
the island of Giudecca, opens this spring in
a palazzo in Canareggio. A Sterling Ruby relief
will accentuate the 18th-century facade, while
programming will include rotating exhibitions
as well as an artist residency.

The Venice Venice Hotel
Recently opened a stone’s throw from the
Rialto Bridge on the Grand Canal, this hotel
marries historic grandeur with modern
elegance. The owners, avid art collectors,
have filled every room of the 11th-century
palazzo—even the spa—with works by the
likes of Yoko Ono, Christo and Jeanne-Claude,
and Jannis Kounellis.
Sestiere Cannaregio, 5631; venicevenice.com

Pasticceria Tonolo
Fabulously stuck in time, in the way the best
Italian pastry shops often are. Stop by in
the morning for a cappuccino (always served
in delicate blue and white porcelain) or select
something sweet from the abundantly filled
glass cases for an afternoon pick-me-up.

Attilio Codognato
Each piece of jewelry in this San Marco
boutique is a work of art in itself. The
designs are bold, sculptural, and not for
the faint-hearted: signatures include carved
skulls with diamond eyes and serpent rings
with carefully articulated scales.

pomp and circumstance of its churches and the spectacular drama of its piazzas,
but the memorable moments are often made in quieter spaces, tucked away
down a dead-end street or sometimes even hidden in plain sight.
This spring, visitors in town for the 60th Venice Art Biennale will have plenty
to discover off the beaten track, from a just-opened hotel filled with art to a new
showroom for a beloved local glassblower.
