DOGE’S PALACE TICKETS: WHERE AND HOW TO BUY YOUR TICKET TO SKIP THE LINE

Doge’s Palace tickets: To visit the most important building in Venice you have to plan your visit well in advance and first you need to book the tickets, to avoid queuing at the entrance.

Often, when I pass in front of Palazzo Ducale I see an interministerial row of people waiting to buy the ticket. There is no time of year when there is not a crowd of tourists waiting and every time I wonder why they have not booked priority access.
In fact, I think that they also ask for it, especially when they see the visitors who have reserved the entrance pass in front and immediately go to the entrance and start the visit to the Palazzo Ducale without unnecessary waiting.

Here, then, all the information to book tickets for the Doges’s Palace in Venice.

MEDUSA BY CARAVAGGIO: WHERE IT IS HOUSED AND ITS MEANING

Medusa by Caravaggio is splatter!
I do believe that if he had lived nowadays, Caravaggio would have become a film director like Quentin Tarantino, and those who saw “Pulp Fiction” and similar movies, know what I’m talking about.

Medusa by Caravaggio is characterized by a shocked gaze, a terrified scream, a snarl of living snakes in place of hair, a river of blood streaming out of a decapitated head.
Medusa is hypnotic and terrifying.
Here is where you can admire it and which its meaning is.
