Patricia Gucci's guide to Venice: carnival, Murano glass and flat shoes

Where is your favourite destination and why?

Venice in March, before the tourists start to arrive in spring. It’s the most magical place on earth. When I think of Venice, I just want to get lost — meander through the beauty of it. It’s a pleasure to get lost there; not like other big cities full of cars and people rushing to work. People are more leisurely, and every alleyway is a discovery. Even with the invasion of tourism, you can stumble on a little piazza, sit by a tree and take it all in. My dream is to one day be able to rent a little apartment looking out over the water and live the life of a Venetian for a few months. To really absorb it.
