If you’re interested in what I do, want to come for a walk, visit an abandoned island or just say Hi!, here’s how you can contact me.
✉️ rene@historywalksvenice.com
This is the best way of getting hold of me. I’ll answer your email as soon as I have a minute alone.
If the above email address doesn’t work for you, I have a backup email at ✉️ seindal@posteo.com.
Note about Apple email addresses …
Please do not use Apple email addresses @me.com, @mac.com or @icloud.com. Apple uses a company named Proofpoint whose Artificial ‘Intelligence’ spam filter blocks all emails from this domain. I will get your mail, but I won’t be able to respond to you. I have tried contacting Proofpoint repeatedly, but I get no answer. They’re a black hole.

Signal
I’m on Signal under the username seindal.63.
You can use the QR code to the right to contact me on Signal.
Like on most messaging apps, you can write to me, send pictures, call me or leave voice messages.
Unlike most messaging apps, Signal won’t track you or sell your personal data to the highest bidder.
Telephone
☏ +39 041 887 6914 (land-line – no text messages)
I’ll answer when I can, but given the nature of my job, I cannot always do so.
Comments
Comments are open on almost every page on this site, so if you have comments, corrections or complaints about any specific page or article, that’s not a bad place to do it.
Please remember that site comments are public, so others can see them too.
Social Media
The best place to find me is on my personal Mastodon profile, the next best is on BlueSky.
I have left Facebook and Twitter for reasons of common decency, so if some old profile still appears on those sites, any message there won’t get any reply.
WhatsApp, Messenger, …
I’m not on any of these because of privacy concerns.
Having such apps on my phone will give those corporations more information about me than I care for. They don’t have the best interest of me or you at heart, like, at all.
