I just returned from Venice two days before Easter and the shops were full of decorated eggs!
The Pasticceria Marchini; one of Venice finest pasticcerias, had an explosion of heavily decorated chocolate eggs and candies.
Small ones with spring themes and holiday decorations....
Large ones in the window with Happy Easter written on them....
And the sweetest bouquet of flowers and butterflies on a larger one inside to lure you in from the street....( as is the pungent smell of chocolate in the air isn't enough!)
Walking over by the Rialto, Drogheria Mascari had a mammoth chocolate egg in their display window.
These two pasticcerias still carry on the tradition of the serious art of confection. I hope you all have a happy Easter and maybe some chocolate on the corners of your mouth!

Happy Easter, Theresa! (Fortunately, I'd already had a ration of chocolate before I saw your beautiful posting!) Mark
Ms./Dr. Sugar Is The Enemy still can't help but wonder (i.e. hope) that you tried at least of few of these :) I mean moderation once in a while and dark chocolate could actually prove medicinal...

Oh...appetitoso ! Happy belated Easter to you Theresa! and i'm impatient to read your further posts about Venice :-)
Those decorated eggs put me in mind of to childhood visits to England in the 1960's. Sugar paste flowers and piped names on our eggs. They smelled faintly of pefume as well as chocolate. Fab! I had forgotten all about them.
Oh Helen, I so agree! Just walking in these shops took me back to when I would get one of these special eggs for Easter. The smells in the shops was very intoxicating!
