In questo podcast parlo sulla mia prima volta a Venezia, quanto è stato diverso conoscere una città così particolare, alcune delle sue caratteristiche e come puoi scoprire nuove cose ogni volta che la visiti, il suo fascino per essere una città cosi bella, piena di arte e storia. A livello grammaticale: uso del modo indicativo: presente, passato prossimo e imperfetto.
