We have been talking about loneliness when you are abroad, let's now talk about how to make friends (locals or expatriates) when you're living in Venice 
Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in Venice??
Thanks in advance for your participation
I've lived for two years in venice, and I can say it's not too hard to make new friends there, expecially if you're a foreigner ... We Italians have a sort of fascination for foreign people 
The only thing you have to do is to hang out on a spring-summer night in Campo Santa Margherita. Is the meeting point for students and youngsters. Everybod is really easy going and everybody is always happy to talk with new people, Maybe a glass of spriz (the're really cheap, around 1,50 - 2 euro in the small bars in Campo Santa Margherita) helps against shyness
But, really, don't be afraid, yust sit where it's crowded, and oftens happens that people will start talking with you
If you are a student, go to the library at Le Zattere. You'll see that, during coffee breaks, it would be really easy to start talking with strangers
Thanks for your contribution eleonora.s
