I just realized my wife and I will arrive in Venice on 4/25, the Feast of San Marco as well as Italian Liberation Day. Does anyone know what type of closures should I expect? We hoped to make it to San Marco Basilica in the afternoon light, but I now wonder if it will be closed or have special services.
Any tips on seeing the gondola procession I read about? Other than buying my wife a rose, any other tips on Venice during this holiday/holy day? We were surprised during an earlier trip with the Easter crowds. I hadn't factored that in. Now it's yet another travel story!
Happy Travels,
Scott
