1. T Fondaco
This luxury retail mecca which opened late in 2016 inside a radically restructured former post office on the Grand Canal will continue finessing its range through 2017. When you’re done browsing through the wares of dozens of top names in fashion and perfumery,

2. Carnevale
The programme for Venice’s world-renown pre-Lenten masked frolics gets more action-packed each year. A host of musical, theatrical and folklore-inspired events occupy the city’s calli, campi and, most notably, St Mark’s Square, where ambitious and outrageous costumes are paraded, and major spectacles take place. For the full effect, go at the weekend: weekdays can be surprisingly quiet.
February 11-28. Various venues;

Come at the weekend for the full Carnival effect
3. Glam at Palazzo Venart
After a low-key opening at the end of the 2016 season, Venice’s hot gourmet ticket for 2017 will undoubtedly be Glam, the lagoon outpost of Michelin-starred Tuscan chef Enrico Bartolini. In an airy space spilling out on to the inner courtyard of this recently opened five-star hotel, the restaurant serves a seasonally changing menu of dishes which look as special as they taste. Seafood is local; a synergic garden on the Giudecca island provides exquisite vegetables.

4. Murano Today: Emotions in Glass
Freshly restored and ever more dynamic, Murano’s glass museum is showcasing the very contemporary nature of this island’s ancient glass-blowing craft in an exhibition displaying 250-plus recent works from local furnaces. Ranging from creations by famous designers to everyday items produced by master craftsmen, the exhibitions shows the great scope and continuing relevance of Murano’s traditional industry.

5. Damien Hirst at Palazzo Grassi & Punta della Dogana
Damien Hirst has been labouring for 10 years on works to fill the vast sister spaces of Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana simultaneously. What this first solo Italian outing by the British artist since 2004 will contain is shrouded in secrecy, but it’s sure to raise eyebrows.
From April 9. Palazzo Grassi, San Marco 3231, campo San Samuele; Punta della Dogana, Dorsoduro 2, campo della Salute. Admission to both ?20;

8. Venice Film Festival
The world’s oldest film festival turns a venerable 74 in 2017, and continues to be the kind of inclusive event which draws Venetians and visitors in droves to the Lido to catch some serious world premieres. The 1,800-seater PalaBiennale tent is the least expensive venue, but tickets (prices vary, can be booked on line) for glitzier star-studded showings can also be purchased.

10. Venice Glass Week
Venice is synonymous with glass-blowing and marvellous multi-coloured glass, but this magic of fire and sand has never had its own celebration… until 2017. For a week in September, conferences, exhibitions and workshops will run alongside open days at the kind of exclusive glass furnaces that don’t usually encourage visitors.
September 10-17. Various venues;

"So I'm not quite sure why they're letting him go but they must have replacements lined up.
"United need a holding midfield player. Schneiderlien was let go, Schweinsteiger didn't get a game and so they need a replacement in there and Matic fits the bill.
"Michael Carrick can't play every single week so they need a player that can come in and do the same job as Carrick and Matic can do that."
The move reunites Matic with his former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, under whom he won a Premier League title in 2015.
