  Theatre La Fenice

  The La Fenice Theatre is one of the most important opera theatres in Italy. (www.teatrolafenice.it)
  On 29 January 1996 a devastating malicious fire destroyed the theatre, temporarily closed for maintenance work.
  The fire brigade fought the blaze for the entire night. The whole world lamented the loss of one of the most beautiful theatres, with its extraordinary acoustics and protagonist from time immemorial of the opera, musical and cultural life of Italy and Europe. From the sorrow of the loss came the desire to reconstruct the historic theatre inspired by the motto “the way it was, where it was”, borrowed from reconstruction of St. Mark’s bell tower.  
  The Theatre re-opened on 8 December 2003.
  Our staff is at your disposal if you wish to book a ticket for operas or concerts, without any extra charge.

  Venice Golf Club

  Venice Golf Club opened its first nine holes in 1930. Designed by the Scottish architect Cruickshank, its birth is associated with a legend.  It is said that the great Henry Ford, the man of the first mass produced motor car, the Model T, and a frequent visitor to Venice, asked Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata, President of the Italian Company of Grand Hotels, where he could play golf. The answer was obviously that there were no golf courses in Venice and it was then that Count Volpi decided to construct a golf club ready for the following year.  
  An area of sand dunes was identified at Forte degli Alberoni and the course was created as a genuine Scottish links.  
  In 1951, it was extended to 18 holes and, while respecting the original design, it has always been brought up to date over the years.

  Nicelli Airport

  The Nicelli airport dates back to 1915 at the time of the First World War when the danger of air bombings threatening Venice's artistic heritage made it necessary to construct an airfield near the city to accommodate the French air force which had come to the city’s aid.  
  
  The airfield’s famous visitors include the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, the writer Celine and a patron par excellence, the fascinating Baroness  Nicola Winspeare Guicciardi. Gabriele D’Annunzio also became a habitué after moving to the famous Casetta Rossa on the Canal Grande.
  
  Today completely restructured, the airfield is the ideal place for small private planes to land.  Since 2008 it has hosted the Air Festival, an event for all aviation lovers, and it is also the departure point for organised helicopter tours enabling visitors to appreciate Venice from another point of view, directly from the sky, enjoying an evocative and breathtaking panorama.
