Venezia - San Michele in Isola

Venezia - San Michele in Isola
Venice (ital. Venezia) is one of the most important tourist destinations worldwide with about 30 million visitors each year.

As each tourist takes at least 100 photos (minimum!) in Venice 3000000000 photos are taken here per year, what means more than 8 millions per day. Many of them are uploaded and can be found in the web.

The "Isola di San Michele" hosts a cemetery since 1807, when under French occupation it was decreed that burial on the main Venetian islands was unsanitary. "San Michele in Isola" existed already, when the cemetery was planned. It served a Camaldolese convent on the island since the 1480s.
