POV Design Team
Books, like Venice’s stones and alleyways, are custodians of memory and knowledge, and in the Castello district, this historic soul of the city can be felt in every corner. In its streets and hidden courtyards, an authentic Venice is revived, far from tourist routes, where time seems to stand still.
More about the designer
Castello 5176/B
A bookmark dedicated to a unique bookstore. The Acqua Alta bookstore creatively reuses damaged books destined for disposal, forming a staircase that you can climb to enjoy a view of the canal and the palace where Hugo Pratt set one of Corto Maltese’s adventures.
A bookstore at 5176/B Castello where you’ll find a microcosm of Venice, filled with books, as well as gondolas, canoes, and tubs containing them, to protect against high water, along with cats wandering freely and a canal-view window with chairs and a sofa to watch the rising tide.
Easy Returns
At Pieces of Venice, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. That's why we offer easy returns if you’re not happy with your product.
Products with Stories
These objects also serve as a bridge between past and future generations, telling a story of Venetian culture, tradition, and excellence.
Circular Economy
Pieces of Venice is a social enterprise with a circular economy model and a short supply chain. We begin with the recovery and recycling of discarded materials from Venice, and through industrial design, we give them new life as souvenirs and practical items.
Alberto Toso Fei narrates...
“Venice is rightly considered the capital of ancient books: as early as the 15th century, shortly after the invention of the printing press, more than half of the volumes written in Europe were published in the Serenissima, a trend that continued at least throughout the 16th century.
Punctuation was perfected and began to be used as we know it (with the addition of the semicolon, which Manuzio introduced). And even the bookmark, often a thin strip of cloth or silk in the finest books, had its first moments of glory”.
