The Romance of Venice

Somewhere in Venice lies a forgotten love letter, a handwritten dream, whose lovelorn words give the city a silent pulse.

Somewhere within a weathered yet proud edifice, is a story of a merchant from the East who rebuilt his roots and rewrote his story.

Such is the romance of Venice; layered by its present, layered by its past, but not needing to look towards the future.

For Venice holds dear that which it already possesses, without yearning for something more than it so magnificently is.
