A New Life in Italy S2 EP 10 Living in Venice: Discover Local Life Beyond Tourism with Expert Monica Cesarato
Welcome back to another episode of "A New Life in Italy." I'm your host, Samantha Wilson, and today we're taking a special journey to Venice. But we're not talking about the Venice you're used to seeing on social media or in travel brochures; we're exploring the authentic Venice, the one that locals call home.
I'm thrilled to have my friend Monica Cesarato join us. She's a Venetian local, and a renowned tour guide, and you might know her from her Instagram, her books, or her podcast "Venice Talks" on Sentire Media. Monica is here to give us the insider scoop on the real Venice, from the best quiet neighborhoods to the true costs of living in a floating city.
Venice is known for its canals, history, and Carnavale, but beyond the picturesque scenes, there's a vibrant community living a rich life. We'll dive into the daily routines of Venetians, how they shop, eat, and play while avoiding tourist traps. This episode is your golden ticket to discover the lesser-known aspects of Venetian life and perhaps how you can make this city your new home.
Whether you're dreaming of moving to Venice or just curious about the reality behind its fairy tale facade, this show is for you.
Remember to check out the show notes for all of Monica's details, and don't miss her podcast "Venice Talks" for an even deeper dive into Venetian life. Until next time, ciao for now!
