"I took the no.12 vaporetto to Torcello, the island regarded as the true birthplace of the Venetian republic, and found a tranquil green oasis where walkers and history lovers poke around the tiny archaeological Museo di Torcello beside the 7th-century Basilica of Santa Maria dell’Assunta; the Lagoon’s oldest church has a glorious interior and the bell tower offers stunning views, and the island even attracts Ernest Hemingway fans thanks to his idyllic 1940s stay." - SilverKris
