Temperatures can be unpredictable, ranging from the upper 30s to the mid-70s, but are manageable, as long as visitors wear layers as needed. June through August sees the biggest increase in tourists, as well as the hottest temperatures. Winter, from December through February, is the coldest time of year with temperatures between 30 and 40 degrees. However, this period also offers the lowest hotel rates with the exception of the beginning of Carnaval, one of Venice’s main attractions.

With two degrees from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Samuel Brice Hall serves as the director of investor relations at Piedmont Private Equity in Atlanta, Georgia. In this position, Samuel Brice Hall manages the tax mitigation and conservation strategy projects team and serves as a liaison between investors and third party advisors. Mr. Hall enjoys traveling and has visited Venice, Italy. Arguably one of the most romantic cities in Europe, Venice draws visitors from all over the world.The city stretches over 118 islands that are connected by a network of 150 canals and nearly 400 bridges. The Grand Canal, the main thoroughfare of the city, cuts through the center of the city and is typically packed with boats full of residents and visitors traveling between islands.The island of Murano has achieved worldwide fame for its contribution to the glass making industry. Once a major commercial port and trading center, Venice was known for its glass artisans and their skill at the craft. The Venetian glassmaking methods were so sought after that guilds were formed to safeguard industry secrets and to establish important trade regulations. In 1291, all glassmaking foundries were relocated to the island of Murano in order to avoid the outbreak of serious fires in the city of Venice.For several hundred years, glassmakers in Murano enjoyed a heightened social station and were well respected among all levels of society. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the glass industry enjoyed great popularity, due in part to the newly discovered method of making clear class. The industry then began a slow decline until the old techniques were revived in the mid-1800s.Murano is once again a renowned center for artisanal glass. Travelers can visit any of several foundries to see glass making demonstrations, and numerous glass shops can be found up and down the streets of the island. The island is also home to the Murano Museum of Glass, a great place to see examples of Venetian glass through the ages.
Samuel Brice Hall serves as director of investor relations at Piedmont Private Equity, LLC. Away from his professional responsibilities, Samuel Brice Hall is an avid reader. He regularly rereads To Kill a Mockingbird, the famed novel by Harper Lee.Harper Lee, who experienced a difficult childhood, developed a liking for English literature in high school. At college, she avoided the traditional female pursuits of fashion and dating, preferring to write and to concentrate on her studies instead. Lee became the editor of the humor magazine of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. Her studies ultimately began to compete with her writing for her time. Eventually, once she had figured out where her true passion lay, Lee dropped out. She moved north to pursue her authorial ambitions.Befriended by a Broadway composer who paid her living expenses for a year, Lee devoted herself to full-time writing. Her manuscript became known as To Kill a Mockingbird. While waiting for its publication, Lee helped her childhood friend, Truman Capote, with research and interviews for a New Yorker article. That article would ultimately grow into his non-fictional book, In Cold Blood.After it came out, Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Prize and a number of other awards. The film adaptation won three Oscars. In later years, Lee retired from public life. She made anonymous donations to charities from her substantial wealth. In 2015, a pre-Mockingbird novel that a publisher had rejected came to light. It featured the characters from Mockingbird in a period later than that highlighted in the more famous book. After the publication of Go Set a Watchman, its depiction of the character, Atticus Finch, as a racist surprised readers. Nevertheless, Go Set a Watchman broke the pre-sale records of its publisher, HarperCollins. Lee died in her sleep in 2016, aged 89.
