Calling all Donna Leon fans! Celebrate the popular crime series set in Venice with this exclusive tour that delves into the world of Commissario Brunetti, star of the novels and television shows. Follow your guide to see locations featured in the stories, including the iconic “questura”, or police headquarters. Learn new facts and trivia about the author and her books and enjoy a unique perspective on the “Floating City”.
The fictional character of the Venetian “Commissario Brunetti” has been a success figure on German television and international literature for years: discover personally on site the the wonderful film scene locations from Donna Leon’s novels. It is not at all easy to find the “campos” and “palazzos” where Brunetti was often on the way, because most of them are off the city highlights and well know touristic sites. On the contrary, the films are mainly shot in a rather off the beaten path Venice, like the Questura, where Signorina Elettra is always duly waiting for Commissario Brunetti. It is so beautiful when you find the places you fancied on TV or reading the books, from Brunetti’s first cases, such as Acqua Alta, through the most successful episodes like “beastly thigs” or “Suffer the little children”, to the youngest, whereby Raffi and Chiara no longer want to live in Venice.
During this walking tour several locations from the film adaptations are not only to be discovered but also to be tasted, as the focus will be also on Brunetti’s famous and broad gastronomic taste. Therefore, not only Brunetti-fans but every Venice lover will be entertained with anecdotes and exciting details from everyday Venetian life.

The Brunetti family came and went through this front door, which every Brunetti fan can recognize, once you found it!
This restaurant is next to Brunetti's house and often visited by the whole family. it is the place where for instance the Commissaro listens to Raffi's sexual science statements
After the Commissario has realized that his daughter is a member of the radical animal protection organization Angelo Animale, the two have a discussion in this pub. Due to the murder of Professor Nava, who was formerly employed in the slaughterhouse, Chiara's so-called animal angels are now the focus of the investigation.
In this buildings we will find the school authorities, the public prosecutor’s office and the court. With his inquiries about the former employee Paolo Battestini, Brunetti brings the head of the school authority and alleged dottore Signor Trotti pretty out of whack. The public prosecutor's office visits Brunetti together with his competitor Capitano Marvilli in order to have the highest authority clarify which of them should be responsible for the case of the murdered Rozafa Krasnic. At the Court court, however, Brunetti, in rare harmony with his boss Patta, subsequently succeeds in enforcing the arbitrary arrest warrant against the slaughterhouse manager, Signor Papetti.
In this building, Signora Altavilla took care of the elderly until her mysterious death.
The headquarters of the radical animal protection organization Angelo Animale are located in this palazzo. Two masked figures flee from the side entrance and chase each other with the Commissario and his colleagues. While one of the two escapes, the other is caught and, to Brunetti's amazement, turns out to be his daughter Chiara.
At this bridge, an oncoming cart driver brakes a police officer on his hunt for animal pleasures for crucial seconds.
Here Patta is already choosing the right outfit in anticipation of his honorary doctorate.
On her way home from the train station, Signora Gismondi uses the opportunity to buy a fresh dinner here, also on Sundays.
In this bar Signora Gismondi, the neighbour of the unpopular Signora Battestini, enjoys the last two balls of chocolate ice cream of her life.
This centrally located kiosk sells the popular German and international newspapers. Brunetti also gets a current issue at the stand and learns about his latest case.

At this shop the inspector stumbles upon his fateful birthday idea for Paola.
This church is used for the marriage of Dottor Pedrollli and Bianca Marcolini, who have to answer for the illegal adoption of an Albanian boy.
The flower shop from the famous film "Bread and Tulips" by Mario Soldini (2000) was also set up on this spot.
This is where Signora Maria's kiosk is located. She is well informed about the residents of your neighborhood and shows Brunetti the way to the American archaeologist Brett Lynch straight away.
Vice-Questore Patta used to eat a couple of glasses of grappa too much in this bar. But Vianello also appreciates the bar because of the best café in town and the delicious croissants. The inspector treats himself to a panino prosciutto or a tramezzino with ham and artichoke with a glass of white wine.
The tour ends in a place that we cannot miss. We reach the striking columned hall in a campo, through which the employees, visitors or delinquents in the films hurry to the Questura with the famous green door and a portal
