Venice (Italy) Record Shop/ Live music recommendations

Hello All, Any recommendations in the city or very nearby area? I only have a day there so need to make it count! thanks!

If you only have a day in Venice I would reccommend seeing the city, the sights and enjoy the atmosphere rather than pursuing record shops. Im a big fan of italo and cosmic disco and I had longer than a day and didnt find any shops worth reporting.

Same here. There is only one tiny shop but focused mostly on Rock music. I didn’t buy anything.

In this tiny cafe they were playing some records and they had a nice atmosphere outside the touristic craziness.

Was there a few weeks ago, Living In The Past was the shop. Mostly rock, but a lot of interesting stuff in various genres and all in very good condition. Way, way overpriced but, considering how everything has to brought in via small boat, is understandable i guess. Did think about buying the Donny Hathaway live album, but baulked at 100 euros (he wouldn’t haggle down) and also didn’t take credit cards.

I’ve bought from this discogs seller based in the region before. Antonio. Nice fellow, he may be a good resource.
