San Lazzaro degli Armeni

San Lazzaro degli Armeni is a small island located in Venice, Italy. It is famous because it is the home of a special place called the Armenian Monastery.

The Armenian Monastery is like a big house where a group of people called monks live. These monks are from a country called Armenia which is far away from Italy. They live in this monastery to practice their religion and to learn more about their culture.

The Armenian Monastery has a lot of books, paintings, and other things that are important to the Armenian people. The monks take care of these things and they also teach new monks how to read and write in Armenian.

People can visit the Armenian Monastery to learn more about these things too! It's like going to a museum but instead of looking at things from Italy, you get to see things from Armenia.

The island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni is also really pretty. There are lots of trees and flowers and the monks take care of them too. It's a peaceful place where people can go to learn and relax.
