The Rio di San Barnaba is located in the Dorsoduro district and takes its name from the Church and Campo San Barnaba overlooking the canal.

The print shows the stretch of canal from Ponte dei Pugni toward the Grand Canal: on the right, one can glimpse Campo San Barnaba facing the canal and which — as a small curiosity — was the setting for several famous films, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade starring Harrison Ford and Summertime with Katharine Hepburn (a film that shows a beautiful Venice in 1955).

Another typical feature of the Rio di San Barnaba is the presence of a beautiful barge (visible on the right in the print) that sells fruit and vegetables during the day.
