What is the climate like in Venice?
Venice, Italy has warm summers, cold winters, moderate seasonal rainfall. Venetians (about 50,000 left, from 175,000 in 1950) hate Piazza San Marco and eat in Cannaregio's cicchetti bars — All'Arco, Al Timon, Cantina Do Mori — where you stand at the bar with an ombra (small wine, 2 euro) and small cicheti. Never order 'spaghetti bolognese' (not a Venetian dish and Bologna doesn't serve it either). The vaporetto Line 1 is the world's cheapest scenic cruise. Never sit on the Rialto steps eating a sandwich — 500 euro fine and locals will call the police on you. The correct pronunciation is 'Ven-EH-tsia,' not 'VEN-iss.'
