Nine stops from Campo Santo Stefano across the Accademia bridge into Dorsoduro: a church with a ship’s-keel roof and a bell tower out of true, the monument Venice nicknamed the cagalibri, the yard where gondolas are still built, a church with two front doors, the eighteenth-century palace of Ca’ Rezzonico, the bridge where Venice used to fight, the building that stands alone in Campo Santa Margherita, the university on the Grand Canal, and the church of San Pantalon.

Ten stops from Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo to Piazza San Marco and on towards Campo Manin: a hospital behind the marble front of the Scuola Grande di San Marco, the church of the Miracoli, a bookshop named after the high water, the Bridge of Sighs, the two columns at the water’s edge where the Republic carried out its sentences, the tower that fell in 1902, the basilica, the clock that has been read from the paving since 1499, the staircase of the Contarini del Bovolo, and a filled-in canal named after the murders on its bridge.

The North of Venice: Cannaregio — Filmed by Andrea Manzo

Ten places across Cannaregio, each opened by a short video filmed and narrated on site by Andrea Manzo: the two Ghetto squares, a cinema that became a supermarket, the palace of the Turkish merchants, Codussi on the Grand Canal, a round church with an eye over the door, four stone men in a wall, Sansovino’s hall that was a basketball court, the last bridge without a parapet, and the narrowest street in the city.
