Stories & Legacy
The Legacy of Eyewear in the Dolomites
From Venice to the Belluno Dolomites, this experience traces the origins of one of Italy’s most remarkable industries. While eyewear was first developed in Venice, it was in the Cadore region that its production evolved into a world-renowned center, shaped by generations of craftsmanship and innovation.
Through a private guided visit to the Museum of Eyewear in Pieve di Cadore, you discover vintage pieces, historical machinery and the evolution of design over time. The experience continues with exclusive access to a family-owned eyewear factory, where long-standing traditions are still carried forward today.
A story of vision, heritage, and enduring craftsmanship deeply rooted in the Dolomites.
The Great War
High in the Dolomites, the landscape still carries the traces of the First World War, when these mountains marked the front line between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Through a private guided experience, you explore former battle sites at altitude, including trenches, open-air remains, and tunnels carved deep into the rock — the so-called “stomach of the mountain” — where soldiers once lived and moved through the peaks. Locations such as Lagazuoi or Cinque Torri reveal a powerful and often overlooked chapter of history.
A journey through memory and landscape, where the silence of today contrasts with the intensity of what once unfolded here.
A Living Landscape in Alta Badia
Set in the unspoiled landscape of Alta Badia, this experience offers an encounter with one of the most emblematic animals of the territory.
Founded in 1999 by a young local farmer, the park began as a personal project driven by passion and has since grown into a meaningful example of care, preservation and respect for the natural balance of the mountains. Today, it is home to more than thirty deer raised in a protected environment. The experience begins from Rifugio Paraciora, following a gentle path through nature, where animals can be observed in a setting that remains largely untouched. The day concludes in a traditional mountain maso, where the menu is prepared according to the rhythm of the day simple, authentic and shared in a setting that reflects alpine life as it once was.
Venice and Murano: A Cultural Legacy
From the quiet canals of Venice to the furnaces of Murano, this experience reveals a deeper layer of one of Italy’s most iconic cultural landscapes.
Away from the more familiar routes, Venice unfolds through hidden corners, lesser-known spaces and a slower rhythm of life, offering a more intimate perspective of the city.
The journey continues to Murano, where centuries-old glassmaking traditions are still carried forward today. Through a private visit to a working furnace, you witness the process of shaping molten glass and encounter the craftsmanship that has defined the island for generations.
A refined experience that connects history, artistry, and place beyond what is immediately visible.
