La Serenissima


“La Serenissima” is a title bestowed upon Venice, meaning “The Most Serene Republic.” This name reflects Venice’s reputation for stability, prosperity, and diplomatic finesse during its centuries-long existence as a powerful maritime republic. The city earned the title due to its remarkable resilience and peaceful governance, even amidst the tumultuous politics of medieval Europe. Established as a republic in the 7th century, Venice flourished as a center of trade, culture, and art, becoming one of the wealthiest and most influential cities in the world.

Today, “La Serenissima” serves as a poignant reminder of Venice’s glorious past and enduring spirit. It encapsulates the essence of a city that, despite its turbulent history, remains a symbol of elegance, charm, and resilience on the tranquil waters of the Adriatic.

Bratislava Off Season

Bratislava is the proud capital of the Slovak Republic, situated in the west of the country at the border with Austria. In fact, the city is so close to Austria that once there were plans for a tram line connecting it to Vienna. Although such a tram was never built, by train, it takes only about one hour to get there, and in summer, there are boat cruises along the Danube between the two capitals. In winter, though, it is much quieter, especially during COVID-19 there was not much going on in the streets, and you almost felt like having the city for yourself.

Pisa was a center of culture and commerce for many centuries. But like any prosperous state, it was surpassed by another place, in this case by the sea republic of Genova. Pisa was largely forgotten, but luckily, the cultural heritage survived the centuries.
