Win a Ciceroni Holiday to Venice

To celebrate the publication of Christopher Lloyd’s In Search of a Masterpiece, we are offering a fantastic Ciceroni Holiday for two to Venice. To be in with a chance of winning, please answer the 12 questions below.

First Prize
This fantastic prize is offered by CICERONI Travel and will be led by Tom Duncan, a well-respected Art Fund and NADFAS lecturer. Departing on 1 November 2011*, Venice for Pleasure is a seven-day tour for two people that offers a comprehensive introduction to this wonderful city. It includes all the major sites, but focuses in particular on two special themes: Canaletto’s career and John Ruskin’s love of Venice. You will stay at the very comfortable 4* Hotel Metropole, just along from the Doge’s Palace on the Riva degli Schiavoni. The hotel has superb views over the Lagoon and a marvellous 2* Michelin restaurant, where you will dine on the final evening. (*Should the prize winner be unable to take the 1 November 2011 departure, s/he will be offered two places from the 2012 Tour Programme to a maximum value of £1,250 per person sharing.)

Second Prize
A private guided tour of the National Gallery followed by afternoon tea. Ten runners up will also receive a copy of Thames & Hudson’s Art: The Whole Story.
