It’s hard to really get a feel for Venice without coming here. We have canals. Gondolas. History. Unless you’re willing to flood the streets with seawater we don’t think that you’ll get the real atmosphere. But two parts of Venice that are easily reproduced elsewhere are the Italian language and Venetian food. We’ve combined the two in today’s audio lesson about Venetian food. (We also combining them at lunch today, talking Italian during our traditional Venetian meal!)

In this series, we’ll use all Italian blogs to explore the people and places of Italy. Today immerse yourself in Italian, and learn about Venice and its food, while learning Italian. For the English translation, review exercises, and for easier courses on Italian, visit ItalianPod101.com! Ciao!

Ah, Venice. That ancient city. All roads lead to Venice. (No, that’s Rome, silly.) Oops. Sorry.
