Thanks so much for posting this info - we've been to Venice before and will be there o/n on our cruise at the end of November and were looking for something different to do. This certainly meets that criteria!

Thank you for posting this! I saw this yesterday (I get an email from Weekends in Italy once a month), but I didn't have time to post it before going to work.

One of the drawings is the Vitruvian Man. Wow. I wish I was going to be in Venice any day between 9/29 and 12/1 to be able to see these drawings!!!
