Riva degli Schiavoni, Riva Ca’ di Dio, Riva San Biagio, and Riva Sette Martiri are the natural parterre for the amazing New Year’s Fireworks Show – a city admiring itself in the mirror of its own waters, adorned in sparks of every colour and shape. Will the midnight on December 31 be the moment to throw it all behind us? Or the moment we decide to carry it all forward? What we do know is that we will make this decision under the spell of a thousand colour flying over the sky of Venice, the face of its centuries-old architecture floodlit from above. Piazza San Marco never disappoints, and how could it anyway? After all, it appears in so many pictures and so many memories, ones we will treasure for a lifetime.
