For a meaningful memento of Venice, hunt down Fonderie Valese, the last remaining bronze and brass sand-casting foundry in the city. Here you’ll find an Aladdin’s cave full of gleaming gondola accessories, miniature models of the bronze Horses of Saint Mark, golden Venetian lions, Carnival masks, door knockers and paperweights. They’re unique, affordable artworks.
