Question

Do they really have Venetian blinds in Venice?

Answer 1

Most of them have drowned tho! (short curbs)

Answer 2

Not really, I live in Vicenza, about 45 minutes from Venice. Almost all Italians have blinds but they are heavy metal and block out all light when lowered. They are not the type of blinds I would call typical 'venetian blinds' in the States but they are useful when you want to lock up you house or keep out the light during the day. But I actually thought about that the other day....Why do we call them 'venitian blinds'  when they don't have them in Venice?

Answer 3

yes that is where they were invented, and today they made by a company called Hunter-Douglas from Switzerland

Answer 4

Yes, you should always throw a few coins into their cups.

Answer 5

Yes, of course.

and they eat sprouts in Brussels,

rock in Blackpool,

kiss in Glasgow,

and have brakes in Turin.
