Venice is such a lovely place
It's beautiful, Pierre... thank you.
That would be a water well in the centre???
Yes, it would, Djitty². To Venice afficionados (and Venetians) it is known as a 'vera da pozzo'. Water is now piped over from the mainland, and there are no working wells in Venice, though there is one on one of the islands of the lagoon that can still be used.
Almost any book on Venice will tell you all about it.
By the way, 'Corte Sconta' means 'hidden courtyard' - it is not the name of this courtyard.
You can see another view if you go back to September 28, and you can also find the name there.
and now one of our favorites, too.
Gorgeous. Seeing the walls and stones brings back happy memories for me.
What a lovely spot! I love it!
Great photo too ... lovely light.
This looks just like a secret piazza from my favorite Venetian comic -- Corto Maltese -- am I right?
