Galleria Livio De Marchi

Crumpled boots and a raincoat slung over a chair are actually sculptures – there are even life-size wooden cars, complete with engines.
General Market

Open-sided vans sell fresh produce, alongside designer-quality clothes, shoes and bags at approachable prices. Even if you don’t buy anything, the lagoon setting looking over to the Venice skyline makes a trip worthwhile.
Gianni G

Here delicate lace handkerchiefs are sewn on a traditional cylindrical cushion.
Gilberto Penzo

A visit to this workshop with beautiful wooden models of traditional Venetian boats is a real treat. Many craft come in DIY kit form.
Giovanna Zanella

A must for all serious shoppers – zany handmade shoes and hats in a fabulous range of incredible designs.
Glassware

Impress your guests back home with a genuine Murano chandelier or perhaps a millefiori paperweight.
Gourmet Food

For something authentically Italian but intrinsically Venetian, try extra virgin olive oil flavoured with chilli peppers, bottled red chicory paste or pasta in the shape of gondolas and masks.
Hibiscus

A mix of Indian silk jackets, platters from Morocco and ceramic bowls by a Veneto artisan.
Il Ceppo

A gourmet’s paradise with mouth-watering take-away dishes, pickles and preserves. Buy a catered picnic with wine or simply a crusty roll filled with Asiago cheese or sopressa sausage.
Il Mondo in Miniatura

Miniatures of Venice’s palaces and bridges modelled by the craftsman who has produced a 6 x 4m (20 x 13 ft) model of the entire city.
