*** In the beginning ***
Sacca Sessola was artificially created in 1870 with the sand and soil dug from the construction of the Santa Marta commercial port. The man-made 40 acre island is the youngest of the 118 islands in the Venetian Lagoon. It was first used as a fuel dump (General Repository Petroli) and later as a hospital, farming land, UNESCO research complex and last as a resort hotel destination. Loosely translated Sacca Sessola means "scoop bag". For marketing reasons the name now is "Isola delle Rose" or "Island of Roses". It is not a name recognized by the Venetians, or on topographical maps.
The city of Venice decommissioned Sacca Sessola as a fuel storage in 1892. Conversion for use as a hospital for contagious diseases was begun. The position of Sacca Sessola was thought a perfect setting (leafy, oxygen rich with onshore sea breezes) for a respiratory diseases clinic. In 1914 the St. Mark's Hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis lung on Sacca Sessola received its first patients. The clinic, closed during the First World War, was re-opened in 1920 with the addition of new buildings, including the church and the Dopolavoro, or working men’s club for the doctors working on the island. The island's microclimate is perfect for growing vines, pines, olive trees and roses. In 1980 the clinic closed down for good. When the sanatorium was closed the area was abandoned but the Capuchin-Franciscan Friars continued to look after the olive trees. The Capuchin Franciscan Order was founded in central Italy.
In 1992 the buildings on the island were chosen for a UNESCO project (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)- to study and conserve the Venetian lagoon ecosystem. The city of Venice sold the island in 2000 to an international firm for conversion to a private tourist complex.
The former and since dissolved Italian Tourism Company (Compagnia Italiana Turismo s.p.a. - CIT) along with the French hotel company Accor were involved with the Sofitel branded Sacca Sessola Island resort project. The resort was to be called "Sofitel in Isola" and was to open in February, 2003 with 324 rooms, spa, gym, Turkish bath and a 9-hole golf test. Philippe Trapp was the opening hotel director. CIT ran into financial troubles and sold in 2007 the unfinished project for over 85 million euros. In 2014 Accor appointed Philippe Trapp to be Director of Operations HotelServices for the Sofitel, Pullman, MGallery and Grand Mercure hotels in South America.
*** J.W. Marriott Venice Resort & Spa ***
Sacca Sessola received a new start in 2011 as affiliates of Aareal Bank AG, Wiesbaden, Germany brought new investors to the island resort project. The developer entity is known as La Sessola Srl. A "società/responsabilità limitata" is similar to an American limited liability company. iIn 2011 La Sessola Srl contracted Marriott International, Inc. to manage and brand the hotel to its top tier JW Marriott. La Sessola Srl contracted with the Milan architect firm Matteo Thun & Partners and it's lead architect was Luca Colombo. Matteo Thun provided the architecture, masterplan, interior design, styling, and lighting design services.
Matteo Thun undertook a transformation of the whole island, including conversion of the main hospital building and 17 other smaller early-20th century brick buildings (mainly warehouses) into 266 hotel rooms, suites, restaurants, bars, plus the spa. The resort would cater to the high-end demographic and would be completed in April 2015. Lucca Colombo said the design and restoration concept was “shared and agreed with the City of Venice’s Cultural Heritage Office, which was essential since the island is designated as a protected historical area. A team of restoration specialists supported the architects in ensuring the project preserved the buildings’ historic value including the distinctive patina of the walls. The architect employed a “box in the box” concept - building new structures inside the old walls - as a solution to protect the historic character of the buildings and at the same time be fully compliant with current standards. The interiors are contemporary for Venice, which is historically dominated with a lot of velvet, gilt and brocade.
In February, 2016 Enrique Tasende was appointed General Manager at the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa. Previously he was the General Manager at the Grand Cayman Marriott and prior to that the Resident Manager at Marriott Frenchman’s Reef Resort in the U.S Virgin Islands. The opening General Manager was Mario Ferraro who served from 2013 to May 2015. He moved to the CEO position for Sardegna Resorts SRL. Cristiano Cabutti has been the Director of Sales and Marketing at the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa since 2013. Prior to joining Marriott, Cristiano was the Group Director of Sales & Marketing for San Domenico Hotels and golf resorts in Italy and England. Cristiano has a degree in tourism with a major in hotel activities from G. Magnaghi School in Salsomaggiore Terme, Italy.

Westminster Abbey's Chapter House played a crucial role as the birthplace of Parliament, being used as the King's Council Chamber throughout the Middle Ages and even as the House of Commons itself during the 14th century. Following the closure of the monastery in 1540 the building was repurposed as a repository of state archives, a role it retained until 1863. During this time the medieval interior was mostly hidden under wooden structures and partitions, the original vault was removed (replaced by a flat wooden ceiling) and the great gothic windows were largely blocked in, losing most of their tracery in the process. Old illustrations and photographs show the building in a form unrecognisable from what we see today.
Salvation came with George Gilbert Scott's restoration in 1866-72, which saw the vault and windows reinstated to the original design. Much more was revealed besides, with a remarkable series of wall paintings uncovered (boarded over for centuries) along with a superb medieval tiled floor. Important medieval sculpture survives above the doorway in the figures of Gabriel and Mary (the latter also discovered in situ hidden behind boards).
The interior we see today is thus much restored but upon the basis of reliable evidence and incorporating unique surviving medieval artwork.

Westminster Abbey is perhaps the most significant church in English History, site of the coronation of monarchs since it was founded by Edward the Confessor, and burial place of the majority of them, along with many other historical figures of note. It is first and foremost a superlative work of medieval architecture, from its soaring 13th-14th century nave, transepts and choir (all in a curiously French inspired version of Decorated Gothic) to the masterpiece of English Perpendicular, the incredibly lacy fan-vaulted Henry VII's chapel at the east end.
The Abbey is also a treasure house of ecclesiastical art, most of it monumental sculpture on the numerous tombs and effigies of almost every date ranging from the entire medieval period through to the 20th century; a somewhat cluttered interior, crammed full of interest, there is simply nothing else quite like it, no other church contains so many monuments.
The Abbey's monastic ranges partially survive, most notably the cloisters and superb chapter house; a short summary of the Abbey's riches is simply impossible. The monastery itself was shut down during the Dissolution, after which the Abbey briefly became a cathedral until its diocesan rank was revoked merely a decade later. Today it is designated a 'Royal Peculiar' owing to its unique status.
The Abbey is a textbook in stone of British history, and thus a hugely popular tourist attraction. It currently has more limited opening hours in the post-Covid recovery period and entry is not cheap, but happily after decades of a strict prohibition against photographers the rules have now been relaxed at last and visitors are now welcome to fully enjoy this marvellous building with their cameras!

The National Museum of Ireland: Archaeology is the national repository for all archaeological objects found in Ireland and home to over two million artefacts.
The museum's purpose is to collect, preserve, promote and exhibit all examples of Ireland’s portable material heritage and natural history.
Interpret and promote the collections and make them accessible to audiences at home and abroad
Be the authoritative voice on the relevant aspects of Irish heritage, culture and natural history.
Exhibitions include the finest collection of prehistoric gold artefacts in western Europe, outstanding examples of metalwork from the Celtic Iron Age and the Museum’s world-renowned collection of medieval ecclesiastical objects and jewellery.
Prehistoric Ireland
The museum exhibition documents human settlement in Ireland from the stone tools of the first hunter-gatherers around 7000 BC to the bronze weapons of the Late Bronze Age around 500 BC. A reconstructed Passage Tomb provides a backdrop to the tools, pottery and personal objects of the Neolithic farmers, including a beautifully decorated flint mace head from Knowth, Co. Meath.
The introduction of metalworking around 2500 BC and its development are documented. Copper axes and daggers, shields, cauldrons and cast bronze horns (the earliest known Irish musical instruments) are displayed. The exhibition also contains jewellery made from amber, glass and stone as well as wooden examples of shields, wheels and cauldrons. Prominently displayed is a 4,500-year-old logboat from Lurgan, Co. Galway - one of the largest vessels of its type to have been found in Ireland.
The National Museum of Ireland: Archaeology is the national repository for all archaeological objects found in Ireland and home to over two million artefacts.
The National Museum of Ireland was founded under the Dublin Science and Art Museum Act of 1877. Previously, the Museum’s collections had been divided between Leinster House, originally the headquarters of the Royal Dublin Society, and the Natural History Museum in Merrion Street, built as an extension to Leinster House in 1856 - 1857.
Under the Act, the government purchased the museum buildings and collections. To provide storage and display space for the Leinster House collections, the government quickly implemented plans to construct a new, custom-built museum on Kildare Street and on 29 August 1890, the new museum opened its doors to the public.
The building, designed by Cork architects Thomas Newenham Deane and his son Thomas Manly Deane, is a Dublin architectural landmark.
In the great centre court, a balcony is supported by rows of slender cast-iron columns with elaborate capitals and bases decorated with groups of cherubs. On the balcony, further rows of plain columns and attractive openwork spandrels support the roof.
