Tabarro San Marco (Monica Daniele)

ShopLocal favourite

Monica Daniele, a Venetian painter trained at the Academy, has sewn the tabarro since 1994: the full-circle, sleeveless wool cloak with a single neck fastening that Venetian men wore in the 1700s, as painted by Longhi, Tiepolo and Canaletto. Venetians still wear one in the fog of November; she also makes straw boaters and historic hats.

Good to know

  • Try a tabarro on: the weight and the way it wraps is the point.
  • The straw 'canottieri' hat is the summer counterpart.
  • Hours vary; call ahead in low season.
