In the one of the most authentic parts of Venice, as you enter Via Garibaldi, the bottega Domino Arte elegantly embraces the lagoon and the dynamic flow of the street.

In 2014 Valencia and Giancarlo, who both passionately share their love of art, turned an old second hand shop into one of renewed splendor.

Visitors are welcomed by with delightful outdoor tables full of the most varied objects and trinkets that lead you to browse within the interior of the bottega, whose fittings include restored pieces, even furniture salvaged from an antique Venetian pharmacy.

The shop offers a rich and heterogenous collection of works by local artisans amongst which: vintage Murano glass, objects reproduced locally true to style and refined antique works that come from elegant Venetian homes or from characteristic marketplaces.

Surrounded in a magical atmosphere the visitor can get lost amongst dainty ceramics, micro-fusions in bronze, paintings and old frames, refined icons in silver, mementos of the past and full of reminiscence; there are also utensils and retro-inspired original tools and a precious collection of jewelry in silver and natural stones, including an outstanding authentic collection of American bijouterie from the 1950s-70s.

The attention and love shown by the owners is felt in each mysterious corner: the tables that display magnifying glasses with inlaid mother-of pearl handles, small Venetian masks in bronze inspired by the Venetian Commedia d‘arteand the elegantly adorned shelves and display cases, all of which preserve the value of timeless objects.

Valencia and Giancarlo promote and share their dedication to art and skilled artisanship, which can often be purely aesthetical but at the same time representative of times gone by that continue to live on endlessly.
