I climb the first steps and I have to be careful not to trip over.
The desire to look at the golden ceiling of the staircase is strong...
The golden staircase is one of the points of the Doge's Palace that leaves the visitor with an open mouth and an upturned nose in following the progress of the stuccos, gildings and paintings that run along the ramps leading to the ducal apartment. and to the venues of the Venetian government.
The stucco and marble decoration on the barrel vault was the work of Alessandro Vittoria.
I continue to the first room and I find myself in a very high environment.
The walls finished in wood and gilded moldings all have the affixing of large paintings made by great artists such as Tintoretto, Veronese and many others ...
Continue further and the environment is even richer in decorations than the first room.
As I expected here I find many tourists, so I take some quick shots and try to go further to not find them later.

I have to continue where those people are going ...
