For centuries, natives and visitors alike have sought to make sense of its magic \u2014 and failed. Enigmatic, ever-changing and yet somehow timeless, the allure of La Serenissima defies reason. \u201cIt is held by some that this word \u2018Venetia\u2019 signifies \u2018Veni Etiam,\u2019 that is, come again and again,\u201d once gushed Jacopo Sansovino, a Florentine. \u201cFor however oft you come, you will always see new things, and new beauties.\u201d As San Marco\u2019s chief architect in the mid-16th century, Sansovino went on to conceive much of the city\u2019s built splendor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another outsider who fell under Venice\u2019s spell was Arnaldo Bennati, a prosperous shipbuilder from Genoa. After acquiring the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bauervenezia.com\/en\/\">legendary Bauer hotel<\/a>, in 1930, he became one of the city\u2019s most ardent protectors and promoters. A visionary hotelier, Bennati temporarily closed the Bauer during World War II and the early years after in order to restore its original Byzantine-Gothic facade, add a new wing and central heating and air conditioning \u2014 extraordinary luxuries back then \u2014 and open the much beloved Settimo Cielo (Seventh Heaven), the highest terrace in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, he commissioned some of the city\u2019s the most gifted artisans to produce amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/murano-glass\/\">works of glass<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/dining-entertaining\/ceramics\/origin\/italian\/\">ceramics<\/a> that would give the Bauer a fresh Venetian expression. It\u2019s a tradition continued by his granddaughter and heiress Francesca Bortolotto Possati, an interior designer who took over the Bauer Hotel Group twenty years ago. Thanks to her inspired patronage and artistic vision, the hotel has become a cult favorite among cultural cognoscenti. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since hospitality is in her DNA, Bortolotto Possati has devoted her life to introducing visitors to the charms of this city of lagoons, which she understands as moments, elements, atmosphere, encounters, rather than opulent tourist sites. Now, she\u2019s sharing those seductions with armchair travelers as well, through<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.assouline.com\/venetian-chic.html\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Venetian Chic<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.assouline.com\/venetian-chic.html\"> (Assouline)<\/a>, her sumptuous new book about her lifelong love affair with her native city, with dazzling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robynleaphotography.com\/\">photography by Robyn Lea<\/a>.
