The Bellini's Bittersweet Legacy in Venice The Bellini, a cocktail invented by Giuseppe Cipriani at Harry's Bar in 1948, has become synonymous with Italian hospitality.

This tension between authenticity and tourist friendliness is a recurring theme in Venice. The author takes us on a journey through the city's winding streets, from Harry's Bar to Hotel Cipriani on Giudecca Island.
