The Acqua Alta bookshop held by Luigi Frizzo in Venice is a small jewel to explore
The city of Venice a everything to seduce, intriguer, subjugate: between its channels, its carnival , his bridges, gondolas , its restaurants, its palaces, its museums, its dolce vita, Venice deserves its nickname of Sérénissime. But next to its clinching, architectural beauties and this unique air of time in Venice, the City of the Doges is full of little known curiosities and one of them is to be discovered: it is the Libreria Acqua Alta , Acqua Alta .
Do not rely on appearances
Despite an appearance that could make it run away from more than one, the bookshop Acqua Alta is part of these pepits, of which Venice has the secret: many books dedicated to the city but also to its history and its artists find room not only on the shelves enclosed but also on the ground. You feel like you are overwhelmed and submerged by a continuous stream of books.
However, it should be noted that the rays are very well organized and if you cannot find a shoe at your foot, you must not hesitate to ask the master of the place, Luigi Frizzo , who will advise you with relevance. This Venetian trickulent and very friendly is worth a visit to this bookstore not like others.
A good child atmosphere
Thanks to the charisma and taste of the master aboard Acqua Alta, you will experience a little common experience: more than a simple discovery of a bookstore, it is a real Italian show that you will know.
Ask Luigi Frizzo, for example, where is the "erotic books" ray and you will find out what it turns out. The entrance is next to the rio de la Tetta and you will be able to discover, in a warm atmosphere, a multitude of wonderful books including French books. Don’t forget to look into the gigantic gondola but also in kayaks, boats and other bathtubs inside the bookstore, you could find treasures.
But beware of appearances: behind this Venetian fashion, the bookseller has a keen and particularly inventive mind, always at the expense of a new idea to satisfy its customers. Self-proclaimed "the most beautiful bookstore in the world" (and thus in competition with bookstore Lello from Porto), the bookshop Acqua Alta has to seduce and marvel at more than one curious.
And as you are in what is probably one of the most important cities in the world, it may be normal that this bookshop is also one of the most beautiful jewels in the world, right?
