It rained miserably on one of our last days in Venice, but it didn't stop us or any of the other tourists from enjoying the day. St. Marks Square was packed with people wearing plastic ponchos, vying for a bit of covering near the shops. At a certain point, the crowds were too much to deal with, and so it was quite a nice reprieve to have a recommendation for dinner at a restaurant in an out of the way area, still not far from our hotel, but away from the tourists on a quiet Giuseppe Garibaldi Street. I loved the perspective of this scene and definitely needed my ruler to sketch it on my canvas.
The evening was one of our most memorable as we went to an orchestra concert of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Le Quattro Stagioni at "Vivaldi's Church," Chiesa Della Pieta.
