We went to Italy in the month of April, long before Summer started.
My wife was keen on taking the Gondola ride and I suggested evening for taking good pictures, however our time schedule didn't permit to take the Gondola ride in the evening, therefore we had to take the first ride in the morning to avoid the location getting too bright with light.
