If one were to make use of museum archives to research all maritime activity linked with the Serenissima, one would often come across Fratelli Pardo company which had been active as Venetian shipping agents from as early 1860. They later became the Società Pardo & G. BASSANI and subsequently the present-day BASSANI SPA, who are still very much involved in contemporary maritime traffic. Between 1925 and 1930, when organised incoming tourism was just beginning in Venice, Pardo BASSANI also expanded into this field, arranging every kind of service and qualified assistance. In successive years the company became the Agent for CHIARI Sommariva, the oldest travel agency in Italy. After the world war the travel department expanded very rapidly. Arrangements were made to encourage the flow of visitors to Venice as well as excursions shore by cruise passengers. BASSANI is recognised as the leading ground opereator for incoming tourism in Venice.
