Venice Peggy Guggenheim Art Walking Tour
Description
Peggy Guggenheim and Venice go hand in hand. The iconic artist set up shop here in 1949, and went on to take Venice’s already legendary art scene into the stratosphere. On this guided tour, you’ll learn all about her, plus you’ll check out the artwork at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and wander around a part of the Dorsoduro district called the art mile. Elio, one of our expert local guides, says “Peggy Guggenheim could be the protagonist of a fascinating and intriguing novel. Her life was extraordinary, and we’re fortunate that she fell in love with Venice so deeply that she chose it as her home. And what a home it is, truly incredible."

The tour was very enlightening as it has such a wide collection of art of the modern early twentieth century artists. The guide Ms Alessandra was very well versed and competent on the many topics. The key point was the historical life of Peggy Guggenheim and the various traumas that the latter experienced which shaped her life as a n art collector. Peggy made a mark for herself instead of just being rich. Her legacy benefits the present generation with a rich assortment of modern paintings.
