Most of the tourists that come to see Venice don’t relate the place with writers and comedians, but with architectural beauties that they can see. But for those that really are keen on Venetian culture they can ask in the Venice hotel that are accommodated in, for current theatres that show some of the great comedies, written by Goldoni. Actually you can find out such information on the reception desk in any Venice hotel or just to search through the Net.
