Why did Venice build a bridge to Terra ferma (the mainland)?
So the rest of Europe wouldn’t feel like an island. I didn’t quite get it, because the only Venice I knew was the one mobbed with tourists from May to October. Hoping to avoid this scene, photographer Roger Paperno and I arrived mid-November to profile 18 family-run cafés and bacari for our travel book Café Life Venice, the third in our series on Italian cities. The criteria were simple: We had to like the owners and what they served.
