Hidden Gems of Veneto

Veneto's lesser-known sites range from the modern art collection of Peggy Guggenheim in an unfinished 18th-century palace to the 90,000-square-meter elliptical Prato della Valle in Padua. Venice offers the 53-centimeter-wide Varisco Lane and Ponte Chiodo, one of the city's last remaining bridges without parapets. In Verona, Case Mazzanti showcases preserved 16th-century Renaissance frescoes on its facade, while the Acqua Alta Bookshop stores its inventory in gondolas and bathtubs to protect against lagoon flooding.
