Giovanna Gradella
Born in Venice, Giovanna has a degree in History of Art from the University of Padua. She lived in Brussels and then in Vienna for several years working in international contexts and dealing with different cultural environments. She earned a Master’s degree in Marketing and Advertising at the Ecole de Commerce Solvay writing a final paper on a project for a new Museum of Contemporary Art in Venice. While working for the Museum of the Belvedere in Vienna she developed a passion for cultural guiding. Her experience in the tourism grew on her return to Italy, where with a friend she took over a 4 star Hotel. Fascinated by the power of communication of art she became a licensed guide of the city of Venice and enjoys the beauty of her native city every day.
I enjoy these small group tours and this one was one of the best! Giovanna kept us moving so we were able to see and understand a lot about Venice. She knew the best places to stand and how to navigate around the crowds. She also suggested things to see and do later. Really great!
Giovanna was born and raised in Venice and she new a lot of information on the Cannaregio Neighborhood and the history of Venice.
The Jewish Venice History Tour was fascinating. We learned things we were not aware of. We would recommend this to people visiting Venice.
