Have you ever looked up in Venice and wondered what those wooden platforms on the roofs are? 🪵🏛️✨
They are called Altane — traditional wooden rooftop decks unique to Venice. Built on stilts above the terracotta tiles, these structures were originally used by Venetian women in the Renaissance to bleach their hair gold in the sun using specialized hats (Solana)!
Today, they are the most coveted private spots in the city for sunset wine, drying laundry, and escaping the crowded alleys below.
Put on your headphones to enjoy the pure, ambient ASMR Sounds of distant sea breeze and church bells over the rooftops. 🎧🌊
