Dec 20, 2009 About Venice
In 1929, it did. How cold was it?
This cold. Walk-from-Fondamente-Nove-to-Murano cold.
1929 was a harsh winter for all of Europe…Venice included. A voga friend uploaded this archival video of Frozen Venice; they’d not experienced anything like it for over 100 years. (Check his YouTube site for more historic footage.)
Can you spot the vaporetto di una volta, from once upon a time?
After running a few errands and making it back inside just before my nose fell off, I’m still refusing to believe we’re gearing up for a similar experience this winter.
Speriamo bene (Hoping for the best)…

Thanks for the post. This brings back memories. We were in Venice over Christmas. After attending Christmas eve mass at San Marco we had to wade in almost knee deep water to get to the San Zacharia vaporetto stop. Nonetheless we had an amazing time in Venice and I miss it more and more everyday.
