Palazzo Gussoni on Rio de la Fava from
Sotoportego Zocchi. The beautiful Renaissance façade of the
palazzo (end of XVth cent.) is attributed to Pietro Lombardo and his
school. The intricate carvings around the openings, similar to other
works of the Lombardo school such as those found in Santa Maria dei
Miracoli and San Lio, gave me the clue to locate the spot. The palazzo
can be admired from Ponte S. Antonio at the end of Calle de la Bissa on
your way from San Bartolomeo to San Lio (the picture below is also
posted in the Castello
section of "Hidden
Corners"). Sotoportego e Corte Zocchi is off Calle de la Bissa.
Is this actually the lowest sotoportego in Venice?![]() |
