Gillian, we will be visiting Venice soon, and your article reminds me that one theme we should pursue is important saints in my family. At least a handful of sculptures, or grand paintings/murals. Thank you, Thank you Gillian for all you do!
BRILLIANT! You know this info will form the foundation of the itinerary for my pal group from last Sep and me to whisk up to Venice and dig in, right?????? Can’t wait and thank you for this excellent post! 🥰🙌
Wonderful thank you. We will be in Venice the last week of October (our favourite time to visit). Will be trawling your posts for ideas. And may be in touch 😊

Do you have the name of a good book about relics and pilgrimages organized around visiting relics?
That is such a good question! I went back and looked at my To Read cart and found this; Saint's Preserved https://amzn.to/4bttWfu and I not exactly relics but I love the book Saints Preserve us https://amzn.to/4bttWfu. My pal Mountain Butorac/The Catholic Traveler (& fellow Tennessean!) leads pilgrimages https://substack.com/@thecatholictraveler and another Rome pal, Agnes Crawford/Understanding Rome knows everything https://understandingrome.substack.com

Love those floors!! Gotta say-- Venice has the best floors in Italy. When they're not underwater of course....
Thankfully Mose is keeping our feet dry for now 🤞
