A good quote from the Great Man, and one I haven't heard before. Do you know this one:
Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

Very easy (with the aid of ombra.net). It's Fondamenta Alberti, opposite Campo San Barnaba, Dorsoduro.

Another great "slice of {Venetian} life" shot, Pierre!
(And this is also directly across from the spot where Katharine Hepburn fell in the rio in "Summertime."}

And by the way, Bert, do you now this other Churchill quote :
In England, everything is permitted, except that which is forbidden. In Germany, everything is forbidden, except that which is permitted. In France, everything is permitted even that which is forbidden. In the USSR, everything is forbidden, even that which is permitted.
