The majestic tall ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italy's oldest naval training vessel (launched in 1931), returns to Venice's Grand Canal this spring. Moored at Riva San Biasio, the ship will host exhibitions and welcome visitors on board by reservation. This is a rare chance to step onto a working piece of maritime history before she returns to her home port.
