If you think that in Venice you can only walk along streets full of craft stands, palaces, bridges and churches, you are quite mistaken. The fact is there is also room here for the grand avenues bordered by luxury shops, in which the mannequins show off the best items of haute couture at outrageous prices.
Situated in the busy area surrounding Piazza San Marco, the Calle Larga XXII Marzo is one of these avenues which, given the density of the shops, stands as a veritable centre of pilgrimage for those who love going shopping.
In fact, this wide street, which is also given the more concise name of Via XXII Marzo, constitutes the city’s main fashion centre, since this is where the shop windows of the exclusive Italian labels line up, such as Gucci, Prada, Valentino or Salvatore Ferragamo.
If you are prepared to invest in your image to be on a par with the elegant Venetians and many tourists, above all the Japanese ones, who leave these shops smiling and laden with impressive fistfuls of bags, then the Calle Larga XXII Marzo is for you.
