We met at an easy to find location, warmly welcomed and dived straightaway into local delicacies , sweet and savoury and then a visit to a deli to sample cheeses and olives. Meandering through pretty side streets we learnt the importance of 1913 & Venetian architecture - sounds deep but it was fun in the way our guide conveyed it.…”
