Simple Minds 30 year tour
Legendary rock band Simple Minds rocked Venice on Friday 24th July with a one off concert in the beautiful surroundings of St Marks Square. The concert will aid the SMS Venice Project which uses money raised to safeguard and restore some of the most important buildings and monuments in Venice.
The concert saw the band performing their track ‘New Gold Mine’ live which can be downloaded from their website for €5 with all proceeds going to the SMS fund. Checkout the Simple Minds website.
SMS stands for ‘Saint Marks Square’ and came to life in 2008 through the united intent of The City of Venice, The Department for Architectural Landscape Heritage of Venice & the Lagoon and Fran Tomasi, events organizer and is supported by the community of Venice. The project aims to raise public awareness by promoting a campaign to collect funds for the protection and conservation of the City.
See the SMS Venice website for more details.

Wi-Fi brings digital treasure hunt to Venice
Posted by thedailyhere in London, Paris, Tokyo, Venice on July 8th, 2009
The brand new city-wide Wi-Fi in Venice has bought a digital treasure hunt to the city’s streets, bridges, museums and galleries.
Whaiwhai is an interactive game based on a plot written by author Alberto Toso Fei. The game will lead users to explore Venice in a new way as users look for clues and discover hidden places in this city-wide treasure hunt. Users will have puzzles to solve and clues to follow in order to reach their goal.
The game already exists in English and Italian versions and as well as Venice, the game can also be played in Rome, Florence and Verona. There are also plans to export Whaiwhai to London, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, New York and San Francisco.
