About this place Piccolo Mondo

Piccolo Mondo at Accademia 1056 is a Venetian institution — the city's only explicitly gay bar and discotheque, operating in a small space near the Gallerie dell'Accademia. It is a late-night venue by design: opens at midnight, runs until 04:00 on weekends. The space is tiny by almost any standard — a bar, a small dance floor and not much else — but within Venice's particular spatial logic this works perfectly. The city empties of day-trippers after 18:00 and the permanent population and hotel guests who remain constitute a smaller, more interesting nightlife environment. Piccolo Mondo is where that population goes to dance. The music is commercial: pop, house, chart. The crowd is mixed gay/lesbian with queer-friendly straight Venetians. Entry requires payment of an Arcigay membership card (few euros). The Accademia location — Venice's finest art museum is next door — provides the kind of juxtaposition that only this city delivers.

Stumbled upon this place on a wander through beautiful Venice this week. How charming to happen upon this mysterious and inviting door while meandering cobblestone streets?! We were wondering if there was a secret knock to get in, but didn't have the chance to find out because unfortunately they weren't open while we were there, but hope to visit next time!

Historic nightclub with a unique atmosphere, obviously small, but special....
