The Fenice is the Opera House in Venice.

I read the book "City of Falling Angels" in which the Fenice Opera House fire and destruction is central. When we got to Venice it was at the top of my list to see the rebuilt building along with the glass factories on the island of Murano.
We entered the great opera house and went to an upper floor. There was the only open box to see the stage. While we were watching a man came out and began tuning the piano. To see if it was done, he played some great works.
A surprise and note the sign at left...
