Gallerie dell'Accademia
Hardly academic, these galleries contain more mur-
derous intrigue, forbidden romance and shameless
politicking than the most outrageous Venetian
parties. The former Santa Maria della Carità convent
complex maintained its serene composure for centur-
ies, but ever since Napoleon installed his haul of
Venetian art trophies in 1807, there's been nonstop
visual drama inside these walls. Note that last admis-
sion is 45 minutes before closing.
