Venice - Murano: 1950s
Kiosk/Bar – Poldo Bar. When visiting the
island of Murano, famous for it’s Murano hand-blown glass, it’s worth going to
have an espresso at Poldo Bar. It is a tiny, tiny original 1950’s kiosk/bar on the Campiello Convento on the Fondamenta Sebastiano Santi. Untouched by
time it is true Mid-Century Italian design, and hopefully will remain that way.

Poldo Bar. The tiny kiosk/bar,
also sells packaged commercial candy and was established sixty-five years ago
by Poldo and today, his son Giovanni, who shuffles around the bar runs it. It
is beautifully preserved with its original fixtures; mirrors, crystal glass and
bent lacquered rattan wood.
Poldo Bar. Signor
Giovanni, who could be straight out of a Fellini movie, prepares an espresso.
