Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Veneto
Veneto's climate varies sharply with elevation, from humid subtropical conditions in the lagoon and plain to genuine alpine winters in the Dolomites.
Venice and the Po Valley have hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters, with fog a regular feature of the plain between November and February.
The Dolomites around Cortina d'Ampezzo have a true mountain climate -- cold winters with reliable snow, and mild summers that make the range's hiking trails accessible from June through September.
Acqua alta (exceptionally high tides) affects Venice most often between autumn and early spring, when a combination of tides, wind, and low pressure can flood parts of the city, especially Piazza San Marco.
