Description
This drypoint shows a venetian house placed in Castello district, close to San Giovanni e Paolo and Santa Maria Formosa.
This house is one of the few in town that is surrounded on three sides by the three canals: Rio Santa Marina, Rio di San Giovanni Laterano and Rio Tetta. This feature makes this house one of the most curious and photographed in Venice.
