Venice worth your visit (P4)
I. Warming up
Have you ever been to Venice? How much do you know about the city?
Background information
威尼斯(Venice): 是意大利东北部著名的旅游与工业城市,也是威尼托地区的首府。
威尼斯曾经是威尼斯共和国的中心,被称作"亚得里亚海明珠",十字军进行十字军东征时也曾在这里集结,而且也是13世纪至17世纪末一个非常重要的商业艺术重镇。威尼斯别名"亚得里亚海的女王"、"水都"、"桥之城"及"光之城",堪称世界最浪漫的城市之一。威尼斯市区涵盖意大利东北部亚得里亚海沿岸的威尼斯潟湖的118个岛屿和邻近一个半岛。这个咸水潟湖分布在波河与皮亚韦河之间的海岸线。
Background information
圣马可广场(Piazza San Marco): 是意大利威尼斯的中心广场。圣马可广场在欧洲城市的广场中是独一无二的,它座落在市中心,却不像其他广场那样受到交通的喧闹,这归功于威尼斯宁静的水路交通。作为威尼斯的地标,圣马可广场受到游客、摄影师和鸽子的格外青睐。19世纪法国皇帝拿破仑(Napoleon Bonaparte)曾称赞其为“欧洲最美的客厅”。
Canaletto Antonio Canal : 意大利著名风景画画家。他的作品以描绘18世纪的威尼斯风光主题而闻名于世。他记录了大运河边的人家与作坊、赛舟会、圣马可广场的耶稣升天日庆典、一次雷击后圣马可广场钟楼维修的情形等城市景象。
