Contrairement à ce que pense Olivia, et bien que Venise soit une ville d''eau, pas besoin de surcharger sa valise avec un masque, un tuba, ni même des palmes ! Mais Olivia est très excitée par ce voyage, surtout depuis que sa mère lui a dit dans l''avion qu''en Italie on mangeait des glaces partout ! Olivia est ravie, elle veut tout faire, tout voir et une fois de plus ses parents sont mis à rude épreuve pour arriver à suivre son rythme infernal.

Elle est beaucoup plus présente dans celui-ci et les vues anciennes de Venise ajoutent au charme de cette nouvelle aventure décidément très réussie.
