Castello
Sailors, saints and artists made Castello home to seafood restaurants, eth-
ereal icons and the Biennale. Venice's shipbuilders made seafaring history
at the Arsenale; Byzantine churches are gilt to the hilt, luxury hotels line
the waterfront and Vivaldi echoes from the orphanage where he worked -
but Castello slips into something more comfortable for the Giardini and
ba-
cari
(bars).
