Explore Sestiere di Cannaregio
Ignore the Ferrovia signs trying to rush you through Cannaregio, and detour behind the
Rialto to tiny, splendid Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli. Wander up to Fondamenta
Nuove, and turn the corner to glimpse bombastic, baroque I Gesuiti. Follow aptly named
Fondamenta Zen and misnomer Fondamenta della Misericordia towards Campo dei Mori
and Madonna dell'Orto, bedecked with Tintoretto masterpieces. Break for a stellar lunch
at Anice Stellato, followed by a fascinating tour of historic Ghetto synagogues. Browse
poetry, antiques and Ikona Gallery in the Ghetto before hitting the Cannaregio
cicheti
cir-
cuit: Al Timon, La Cantina and Alla Vedova.
