Other cities have suburban sprawl; Venice has a teal-blue northern lagoon dotted with
blown-glass sculptures and rare wildlife. Serious shoppers head to Murano for one-of-a-
kind art glass. Escapists prefer lazy days boating on the lagoon, mooring for seafood
feasts on the colourful fishing isle of Burano and glimpses of heaven in Torcello's golden
mosaics.
