The project reconsiders the building as a layered architectural structure shaped by successive transformations, reorganizing these historical strata through a spatial strategy that prioritizes clarity, continuity, and flexibility.

"It was definitely a spontaneous decision. It was an emotional decision," Gabrovsky tells Fortune. The Italian city had been a fascination throughout most of his life, and thanks to his flexible job schedule, he finally decided to follow through. "Venice captured my imagination: the history, the art, the lifestyle."

A signature view of Venice by Canaletto brought a strong price for the 18th century Italian master at Christie's on February 4, leading the Old Master week in New York. Hammering at $26 million, it sold for a total of $30.5 million including fees, just over its $30 million pre-sale estimate. Backed by a guarantee and irrevocable bid, it was sure to sell.

Drawing inspiration from the Renaissance atmosphere of Palazzo Grimani, Boafo turns his gaze to the rich Venetian portrait tradition. The artist is creating a series of new works specifically for the exhibition, directly referencing this historical context and the unique architecture of the palace.

Try the crispy chicken thigh karaage, fried in a feather-light batter and doused with a tangy chile-honey sauce. The sweet-and-spicy interplay feels like some of the fried chicken glazes you might find in Koreatown. At brunch, try the tamagoyaki-style omelet, an oval spiral of luminous golden eggs sliced and crowned with shaved Comté, chives, and cracked black pepper.

Many years ago, a sober-minded friend warned me off going to Venice for the first time with my then partner. He muttered ominous things about the Venice wobble and the Venice curse. I went anyway and I have to say he had a point. It was autumn and there was something deeply uncanny about the city: fog-bound canals, labyrinthine alleyways, a general sense of decay. If my minibreak had belonged to a literary genre, it wouldn't have been romance so much as cosmic horror.

You can't say Redondo Union girls' volleyball coach Tommy Chaffins is playing a cupcake schedule. On the contrary, he's having his team face one top opponent after another in nonleague matches. Last week, the Sea Hawks (12-1) handed Marymount its first defeat, then beat defending Southern Section champion Mater Dei. Next up is a Tuesday showdown at home against Sierra Canyon, considered this year's Division 1 favorite once the Trailblazers get their sit-out period transfer players eligible on Saturday.

"We opened a pop-up version of [Only The Wild Ones] next to the Butcher's Daughter. It also has a cool selection of vinyl. We wanted to offer something to the community and share our love for natural wine."

"The wedding generated an estimated €957.3 million, or about $1.1 billion, in total economic value for Venice, showcasing its impact on local tourism."

The Bezos-Sánchez wedding showcased the high-profile nature of celebrity nuptials, marked by strict security and limited access for those not on the guest list.

Sweeney embodied Italian summer glamour while putting a flirty twist on a wardrobe staple. She wore a little black romper that resembled a classic LBD, essentially inventing the LBR.
