In 1999. first time I was in Venice and accidentally popped into the gallery, attracted by the painting on display in the window. Boss Gallery Ravanyan and Giovanni Carlo Scarpa, "that in two steps from the square. St. Mark, at first looked askance at "Rousseau tourists" in shorts and with a camera when he was first and foremost in bad English inquired discount. Know discount "- he thought -" this just to buy a poster for 10-20 thousand pounds.

After 15-20 minutes we talked with each other, as if there was a language barrier. I even made a pompous phrase, say "the language of art knows no borders. I do not understand how I could give birth to such a phrase, because my English is usually quickly ends after the phrase: "Sorry, May inglish from Veri troubles.
Soon the master himself was to bring something from the store, which corresponded to my tastes - the walls of the old three-storey house could not accommodate all the wealth. It seems that our tastes match. I then bought three works, as there are good discounts after an hour of inspection gallery.

At the time I got a lot of pleasure from their purchases, the more that I love watercolor. I left a good memory from the visit to Venice.

Well, when in 2007 I again popped in this gallery, the elderly owner remembered me (or sold paintings). Probably - I was, as he himself said that I was from Russia and called the artist, which I then bought. He locked the door key, to talk with them - and I bought 4 more watercolors and 2 of the butter.

Alas, they "successfully" lost in the company Fedex. Seems will have to sue them.

Never use these offices. It is cheaper and more pleasant to carry pictures of yourself! Tickets to Venice, you can sometimes catch in Aeroflot for about 200-300 euros.
