We had a lovely 17 days in Italy in April and May, and of course as framers, we can never resist stepping into every gallery we pass! Our biggest discovery was in the Old Jewish Ghetto in Venice, where we found the art of Michal Meron (next post). But first we just have to share our favorite vacation photo, a gallery dog in Venice, discovered sleeping in Bac Art Studio near the wonderful Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The engravings displayed are by Cadore.

Away from the tourist crowds in Venice, we discovered hidden canals and streets. The signs directed us to the Old Jewish Ghetto, with its ancient history, museums, synagogues, and local shops.
