🌞 🌊 What is better than getting together for a leisurely summer chat with some fantastic ladies? Doing it in the chic shade of Ca' Pesaro's cafe while watching the water of the Grand Canal ebb and flow near our table. That's what we did yesterday.

☕️ Join us at AIWAV's next coffee morning coming soon!

When you next walk by San Marco 3877, just off the vap stop Sant'Angelo, you'll find a Stumbling Stone for Aldo Salom. He was born in 1906, arrested in 1944 at that residence, and killed in 1945 in Auschwitz.

A th*****me of AIWAV ladies cleaned his bronze plate and another's yesterday.

May he rest in peace.
