Leonardo da Vinci is considered to be the model artist when it comes to painting actual works of art from the Renaissance period, and this can be seen in almost all of the art works from the Italian Renaissance period. Leonardo da Vinci was trained as a lawyer, and designed many of the typical meeting tables of Venice, including the cabinet of Prime Minister Signor Giro doubted to be equal to the skills of da Vinci. Other famous artists who can be found in the area surrounding Venice are Michelangelo, whom da Vinci had a huge influence on, and Caravaggio. Other notable Venetian artists include Piero Lazzari, Giorgio Vasarelli, and Antonio Gramsci.

One thing that people do not get enough of when visiting Venice, is a trip to the gothic palace, the Palazzo Reale. Built in 1512, it was once the private residence of Pope Sixtus IV, it is the last of the great palaces constructed in Venice, and is considered by many to be the last true masterpiece of the Italian city. From the gothic palace, you can go on a short walk-way to the Castle of San Lorenzo, which is the last major castle structure left standing from the Venetian era.
