The campi, or squares, of Venice, are the heart of the city, pulsating with vitality and events for its citizens. The largest and most representative is the space in front of St. Mark’s Basilica, a unique place worthy of the name piazza. These open-air theatres, surrounded by the ancient splendour of palaces open up for the admiration of tourists at the end of narrow lanes, filling the gaze with sound and colour. Campo Santa Margherita, Campo San Polo, Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Campo San Rocco, Campo San Trovaso, Campo Santa Maria Formosa and Campo San Fantin: these are just some of the spaces that host performances and shows throughout the year and have witnessed some of the city’s most important events.
