Forget the kitsch
faux-Murano glass in
many of the souvenir
shops,
ALICE IN
WONDERLAND
is an
authentic showroom
for artist Ketty Parma,
a Via Garibaldi fixture
for 18 years, and her
mum, Adriana. Ketty
specialises in glass
mosaics and painting
on glass, while Adriana
makes necklaces
and earrings.

A
cartoleria
is a
stationer’s, but the
pens, writing paper
and art supplies at
CARTOLERIA JOLLY
only make up one part
of Emanuela Perini’s
boutique, because the
other half is a tempting
toyshop where kids
drag their parents in,
particularly for the
big Venice must-have
of the moment: a
monopattino
(
scooter).

Francesco Vittorelli
trained as an architect,
but decided he
preferred to work with
his hands. Ten years
ago he bought
PROFILI
,
a tiny
framemakers’
workshop on Via
Garibaldi. He lives
across the lagoon on
the Giudecca, “but
I chose to open here
because I think this
neighbourhood has
the best potential”.
