We talk about the first moment leather felt like a language, the leap that led to opening a workshop in 2022, and how living between Venice and India shapes a design identity that feels built into every piece, not added on.

From material to method, we explore how a hide is chosen, what certified vegetable tanned leather changes over time, and why some steps cannot be rushed. We also get into the unseen side of independent craft: refusing serial production, learning to say no, and answering the question every artisan hears sooner or later, “Can you make it exactly the same?”

A conversation about hands, time, and integrity, with Venice as a living backdrop where making still means something.

In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica Cesarato sits down with Monica Gambarotto for an informal conversation that drifts away from the usual itineraries and into a quieter Venice.

Together, they explore five churches that rarely make it onto must see lists, yet reveal something essential about the city. These are not monuments to rush through, but places shaped by neighborhoods, communities, silence, and time.

This is a walk through Venice when the crowds thin out, where churches are not just places of worship, but mirrors of everyday life, forgotten histories, and layered identities.

2. What it means to look past façades and guidebook highlights
3. Madonna dell’Orto and the idea of the neighborhood church
4. Tintoretto, daily life, and sacred spaces that feel lived in
5. San Sebastiano and the power of a single artistic voice
6. How Veronese transforms a church into a continuous visual story
7. San Francesco della Vigna as a place of balance, silence, and authority
8. Architecture as a language of power and restraint
9. San Pietro di Castello, once Venice’s cathedral, now far from the spotlight
10. Geography, distance, and the feeling of being outside the usual Venice
11. San Giorgio dei Greci and Venice as a crossroads of cultures
12. What lesser known churches reveal about identity, imperfection, and belonging
13. How slowing down changes the way we see Venice
