VIA GARIBALDI
Via Garibaldi has become one of the most typical corners in Venice, especially due to the vivacity of the activities which take place in it and to the people living and working there. Its different width, if compared with the other "calli" or "salizzade" comes immediately to the eyes and creates an unusual stage, which is the prelude to the majestic entrance to the Public Gardens. "Via Garibaldi" covers a space where there was once a river and it facilitates the connection betweeen the centre of Venice and the outskirts. When it was inaugurated, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was called "via Eugenia", as it was dedicatedto Eugenio Beauharnais, the Italian deputy king. At the end of the Napoleonic empire, it took the name of "Strada Nuova ai Giardini" and in 1866, when the Venetian region was annexed to the REign of Italy, it definitely took the one through which it is known today. Lately, "via Garibaldi" has been looking for and has successfully otained an important role in the fielsd of Tourism, by imposing itself to the attention of thousands of of people and offering them a large and qualified range of events based on Venetians traditions. "Via Garibaldi" is also a good start-point to visit the "Biennale", which is set in the neighbourhood (both in the Gardens and in the "Arsenale"). If it is true that Venice doesn't only mean Rialto or San Marco, this is a good reason to come and see "Via GAribaldi", just to stay there and have a drink or taste the typical fish dishes or to eat a goog ice-cream.
