And I'm thrilled that you didn't resist! I've stayed in the Danieli Hotel! Many years ago, my Dad won a sales contest and the prize was a trip for three to Italy for a week! I was just going into 9th grade, so it was all beyond fascinating to me. My husband and I would love to return some day. Thanks so much for sharing these!
Thank you @bjchipman for telling us this beautiful story. Your dad must have been really good to win such a precious gift! My husband was born and grew up in Venice and every time we go there we find it magical and regret that his parents got rid of their beautiful house
