My name is Tiziana Benincà, alias Veneto Smile. I live in the Veneto Region (the Land of Venice) and have been working in the tourism industry since 1996.

Young at heart, even if a little bit older by birth, think of me as Mary Poppins. Hanging onto an umbrella or even better a colourful balloon, my head is always in the clouds looking for new perspectives  with which to show you my small yet rich little corner of Italy between Venice and the Dolomites: the Veneto Region.

My soul is as sparkling as the Prosecco Wine produced in the hills where I live.

I’m always active thanks to my 3 daughters who even in my spare time don’t allow me to become bored, in fact they enjoy discovering the world with me.

After considerable experience  of various different jobs in tourism such as luxury hotels and tourist promotion, I decided to launch my own freelance career.

I’ve always attented tourism workshops and trade fairs, that’s why I help new entries and not only in this specific field; I work as tourist guide in Italian, English and German and as a tour leader in Italian, English, German and French.

I live every day with enthusiasm and I love to be surrounded by guests coming from all over the world.

My biggest passion? Tourism! I consider myself a Travel Experience Painter, because I want my guests go back home with an experience to share with their families and friends and because I love colors and a life of color is always much better!

My favourite town? Venice, a treasure chest of pure magic.

My favourite dessert? Tiramisu, of course.

My distinguishing feature? My SMILE, no doubt about it! 🙂
