What you can expect
Step into the world’s most anticipated architecture exhibition and explore how design is transforming our future. On this immersive 3-hour walking tour, your expert local host will guide you through La Biennale Architettura 2025, curated by Carlo Ratti — renowned architect, engineer, and professor at MIT and Politecnico di Milano.
Begin your journey at the Giardini, home to the Central Pavilion and several of the world’s most iconic national pavilions. Here, you’ll dive into Ratti’s curatorial vision and the central exhibition — a thoughtful reflection on how technology, climate, and society intersect through design.
Stroll along the waterfront to reach the Arsenale, and step into the Corderie, where ambitious large-scale installations challenge conventional boundaries of architecture. Along the way, your host will share insights on Ratti’s approach, the themes explored by international exhibitors, and Venice’s role as both inspiration and backdrop.
This tour offers more than just facts — it’s a guided conversation about how architecture responds to the world around us. Expect big ideas, eye-opening installations, and meaningful dialogue. Whether you're an architecture lover, a curious traveler, or someone passionate about the future of our cities, this experience offers a unique way to connect with one of the world’s most influential design events.

More about me
Welcome!
I’m a passionate explorer of Venice’s timeless beauty. After nearly 40 years as an English teacher, I’ve turned a lifelong love for this extraordinary city into a new adventure—offering authentic, personalised tours that go far beyond the usual landmarks.
I’ve called Venice home since 1987, and I’m still constantly amazed by its hidden corners, untold stories, and subtle details most visitors never notice. As a volunteer with FAI (the Italian National Trust), I’m deeply connected to the city’s history, architecture, and traditions—and I love sharing that passion with curious travellers.
Whether you’re intrigued by Renaissance secrets, contemporary art at the Biennale, or simply want to wander off the beaten path, I’d love to guide you through the real Venice—the one that locals cherish. With me, you’ll discover more than just sights; you’ll uncover meanings, moments, and memories.
Let’s explore Venice together, one story at a time.
