Place to Be

Place I am in at the very least. Also: place to discover, which has been an ongoing process since a couple of years.

Mestre is Venice’s little sister, mostly overlooked because of the fame and impossible beauty of her older sibling. Unjustly diminished as the ugly and sick one, Mestre has history, beauty and a rough industrial, uncompromising charm that makes her the perfect spot for me.

This discovery stroll was guided by Alessandro Bon, founder of Disoverymestre, a lovely blog about Mestre’s history and hidden gems.
