Bonetto, Cristian: Venice Pocket Precincts

Born to a Venetian father and a Piedmontese mother, Australian-born travel writer Cristian Bonetto has experienced Italy as both a local and a visitor, providing him with a unique perspective on the country and its many shades. For almost 15 years, the former TV scriptwriter has written scores of travel guides and articles on the country, most notably for Lonely Planet. Cristian has a particular soft spot for Venice and the Veneto, home of his ancestors and a corner of the Bel Paese (Beautiful Country) that constantly inspires with its cultural riches and backstory. Cristian also writes for UK broadsheet The Telegraph.
