I Tre Mercanti, Venice
I Tre Mercanti goes beyond being a brand for exceptional food and Tiramisù. In fact, it represents the collaboration of three local Venetian individuals who, in 2007, recognized the need for a place where both residents and visitors of Venice could discover the finest ingredients from the Italian culinary tradition.
More recently, they realized that these incredible ingredients, sourced from all over Italy, should be savored and experienced directly. As a result, they not only offer packaged products but also provide customers with the opportunity to indulge in these culinary delights through the creation of exquisite Tiramisù. This delectable treat is freshly made every hour, right before customers' eyes, in the shop's window.
The beloved cake, known worldwide, actually has its roots in the picturesque town of Treviso near Venice, where it was created in the 1960s. Since then, it has become an emblem of Italian cuisine, captivating taste buds with its unique blend of flavors. However, mastering the art of Tiramisù while staying true to its original essence is a feat achieved by only a select few.
I Tre Mercanti take great pride in their ability to honor tradition by perfecting the original recipe while simultaneously infusing it with new life through innovative flavors and ingredients. However, the Tiramisù itself is merely the icing on the cake, complementing the array of gourmet offerings available.

Venice Introduction Walking Tour
Venice is a city that learned early how to live with water-and, ultimately, how to profit from it. Built across hundreds of small islands in a shallow lagoon in the northern Adriatic, it runs without roads, relying solely on canals and bridges. Although the lagoon itself formed thousands of years ago, it was inhabited mainly by fishermen up until the 5th century AD, when waves of barbarian... view more

Around Rialto Bridge
The Rialto district represents the earliest urban and commercial core of Venice that has shaped the city’s identity for centuries. Long before grand palaces lined the canals or empires were managed from marble halls, this was the practical heart of the lagoon. Its name comes from Rivo Alto, meaning “high bank,” a rare patch of ground that stayed relatively dry and therefore attracted... view more

Piazza San Marco Walking Tour
Piazza San Marco is where Venice has always put on its best face. This is the city’s ceremonial and political core, shaped over centuries as the grand stage of the Venetian Republic. Its story began in the 9th century, when the relics of Saint Mark arrived in the lagoon and instantly raised the evangelist-much as the square built in his name-to the highest rank. From a simple open space, the... view more

Jewish Ghetto Tour
Founded in 1516, the Jewish Ghetto of Venice earns its grim little footnote in European history as the first place officially designated as a “ghetto.” It began as a Venetian compromise with sharp edges: the Papacy urged to expel the Jews, while Venice-never one to waste a useful population-chose to confine them to a small island.
