Relaxing in Venetian splendor of their formal living room are Victor Biasi and Richard, 10. Because Victor has lived in Venice most of his life, practically all the furniture in the room has been imported from Italy. Although the home on Glenview Ave. in North Toronto looks English on the outside, inside it is transformed into a touch of Venice transported to Toronto.
