Torcello, mistakenly called Torricelli by many people, is the most northerly island of the Venetian Lagoon between those ones which are still inhabited and easy to visit. Here live just a dozen people in homes mainly farmhouses, whose only source of income is tourism.
Easily accessible from Burano in 5 minutes with the ACTV ferry (T line), which runs every half hour, Torcello immediately offers an atmosphere of times to its visitors.
Following the long avenue that leads to the square and along the main river, you are immersed slowly in a landscape that seems remained to the period of the late Roman Empire, with a rhythm occasionally fragmented by a colonial-style restaurant.
In the middle of this promenade, about 7-8 minutes long, you will come across the famous \"Devil\'s Bridge\", so called because, according to a legend, was built in one night by the devil to win a bet: probably was the lack of protection on the sides (the \"shoulders\"), and then the feeling that the bridge was built in a hurry, to have influenced the collective imagination of the time.
A little further ahead a second bridge leads to the town square, which is still entirely in clay and gravel and on whose sides some souvenir stalls are lined.
