Next
to the Gesuiti bridge (Cannaregio 4858), this relief dated 1495
shows Mary wearing a crown and with the emblem of the Scuola de la
Carità on her chest. The houses to the left of the bridge were
owned by the scuola.
How to get there. From
the Ca' d'Oro vaporetto stop follow
the
crowd into Calle Ca' d'Oro and to Strada Nova. Make a right turn on
Strada Nova to its end in Campo S.S. Apostoli. At the left-hand corner
of the campo you'll find Salizada del Pistor. Take this salizada to Rio
Terà dei Franceschi where you will make a right turn. You will
pass by one of the few movie theaters in Venice (Cinema Giorgione). Continue in the
same direction to Rio Terà S.S. Apostoli where you will make a
left
turn. After about 100 meters, the street comes to an end on Rio
Terà Barba
Frutariol. Ahead and slightly to your right you will see a narrow
street, Calle del Spezier. At the end of this calle is Ponte dei
Sartori. After crossing this bridge stay on your right and take
Salizada Seriman. At the end of this street you will find Rio de S.
Caterina and Ponte dei Gesuiti.
