Anand Mahindra’s 'Venice Travelogue' Features Katori Gelato And Unforgettable Views

Anand Mahindra, Mahindra Group Chairman, frequently engages his followers with thought-provoking social media updates. His latest posts from a recent trip to Venice, Italy, is no exception. Sharing his experience on X, Mahindra posted stunning photos of the city alongside intriguing facts, giving his followers a delightful virtual tour of the iconic city. He titled his posts, “Venice travelogue.”

In his first post, Mahindra talked about the impressive engineering that shaped the city of Venice. “The city of Venice was built on a series of islands in a lagoon, using wooden piling which was innovative technology for that time. Yet, it’s not technology, but magic, that makes the city a visual feast…” Mr Mahindra wrote, alongside the photos from his trip.

“Gulls and birds are equal citizens of Venice and they soar into the skies of the city that were a significant inspiration for Renaissance and Medieval painters. Venice’s unique light became a hallmark of the Venetian school of art,” he added.

In a follow-up post, Mahindra also shared his thoughts on Venice’s delightful food, commenting how gelato is served with “‘katoris’ of condiments.”

In his final post, Mahindra recommended a visit to a restaurant Al Covino for those travelling to Venice.

“Finally, a tip for those heading to Venice. Don’t miss Al Covino for lunch or dinner. A tiny, 7 table place under the new management of Claudio & Claudia, who gave it new life 5 months ago—and gifted themselves a new life by getting married 3 months ago. They are warm and friendly and deliver an experience that makes you feel like you are a guest in the kitchen of their home. The food has an astonishing combination of flavours with ingredients sourced and named with affection. Outstanding,” he wrote.

Since being posted a day ago, Mahindra’s posts gained significant attention online. The visuals and insights of Venice have garnered thousands of views and sparked a flurry of comments.

One user commented, “This is most likely a peaceful and wonderful place,” while another added, “Wow very good infrastructure.”

Someone else remarked, “Venice enchants with its dreamlike beauty.”

The compliments kept coming in with remarks like “Beautiful pics” and “Very nice.”

Earlier, Mahindra posted a video showing a crowded canal in Venice, likening it to a ‘Mumbai-style traffic jam’ as gondolas and boats lined up to pass under a bridge. The clip also featured tourists snapping photos on the bridge.

“Traveled all the way to Venice only to run into a Mumbai-style traffic jam! (Ok, I admit this traffic pile-up is less stressful),” he noted on X.
