Un luogo misterioso e nascosto che profuma di spettri nelle notti d’inverno e di fiori sui davanzali nelle sere d’estate. La Venezia nascosta, quella meno evidente, ma forse più intensa, raccoglie fra i suoi tesori uno dei più straordinari esempi del passaggio dallo stile tardo-gotico a quello rinascimentale. La Scala Contarini, detta “del Bovolo” (in dialetto, appunto, chiocciola), è una vera e propria torre cilindrica traforata da archeggiature ascendenti che risale al 1499. Un capolavoro “ibrido”, per alcuni, a pochi passi dal centro commerciale di Rialto. La “torre”, adiacente Campo Manin, è opera quasi sicuramente del “mastro murer” (muratore) Giovanni Candi, che la costruì su incarico affidatogli da Piero Contarini, rappresentante di una delle famiglie più importanti della città - i Contarini appunto - alla quale Venezia deve ben otto dogi. I Contarini ci tenevano ad avere anche un dominio “fisico” sulla città, a ben rappresentare quello politico, così spostarono sotto l’allora doge Andrea Contarini (1368-1382) la loro residenza dall’assai decentrata zona della Madonna dell’Orto, al palazzo in perfetto stile goti- U © IRE © IRE FOCUS ON n ancient spiral staircase. A mysterious and hidden place still imbued with the scent of winter night spectres and of flowers on windowsills in summer nights. The hidden, less observed, but perhaps the most intense Venice counts among its treasures one of the most extraordinary examples of transition from late-Gothic to Renaissance style. “Scala Contarini”, also known as “Scala del Bovolo” – where “bovolo” in Venetian dialect stands for “snail” – is an authentic cylindrical tower dating back to 1499 fretted with ascending arcadings. A “hybrid” masterpiece, as described by some, a few steps from the Rialto trade centre. The “tower”, adjacent to Campo Manin, is almost certainly a work by the “master mason” (bricklayer) Giovanni Candi who built it at the behest of Piero Contarini, representative of one of the most influential families of the city – the Contarini – to whom Venice owes eight Doges. The Contarini took pride in the possession also of a “physical” dominion of the city rightly representing the political one. That is why, under the then Doge Andrea Contarini (1368-1382), the Contarini’s residence was moved from the decentralised area of “Madonna dell’Orto” FOCUS ON © IRE LE ALTERNE FORTUNE DELLA SCALA I Contarini rimangono proprietari del Palazzo del Bovolo fino agli inizi del ‘700 quando, nel 1716, una parte passa alla famiglia Minelli (matrimonio di Elisabetta Contarini con Giovanni Minelli) che ne diverrà completa proprietaria nel 1772. Durante questo periodo un’ala del palazzo viene trasformata in locanda, la “Locanda della Scala”. Nel 1819 le ultime eredi Minelli vendono il palazzo a Domenico Emery di Tolone il quale, nel 1849, lo donerà alla Fraterna dei poveri di San Luca, amministrata dalla Congregazione di Carità. Questa, nel 1880, restaura il palazzo per farne sede dei suoi uffici e lo intesta alla fondazione Ludovico Manin. Nel 1939 la Congregazione sarà sostituita dalle Istituzioni di Ricovero e di Educazione. La scala è stata restaurata con i finanziamenti di un comitato americano del Minnesota ed è riaperta dal ’95. Altri importanti monumenti veneziani sono di proprietà dell’IRE ed aperti al pubblico: la chiesa dell’Ospedaletto con la Sala della Musica, la chiesa delle Zitelle, l’Oratorio dei Crociferi. to the Venetian Gothic-style palace of “San Paternian” that was built at their behest not too far from “San Luca” and whose central part dates back to 1300. Being tower-building forbidden - since the Republic feared possible conspirator’s meetings in the towers - the idea was conceived of building an external luxurious and innovative staircase functioning as monumental access for illustrious guests or as symbol of the city’s dominion. Also Francesco Sansovino asserted that once from the top of the tower, unlike today, the entire Saint Mark’s square could be seen. At the end of the XV century, the Contarini family invested a large amount of money in the renewal and embellishment of their palace, including not only the construction of the famed staircase but also the renewal of courts, loggias - today filled for static reasons - and of the once frescoed back façade overlooking the “rio”. Staircases in Venice were usually right-angled, in a period in which flowery Gothic was all the rage as testified by masterpieces dating back to that period: the “Ca’ d’Oro” façades (1377) and the Ducale Palace (c. 1480). Piero Contarini, however, drew inspiration from the Florence Renaissance and from the famous Pisa Tower for the creation of an extremely innovative monument. Candi, although very skilled, wasn’t an architect and a careful look would certainly reveal imperfections in the staircase building. The heart of the staircase, built with Istria stone, used to be a single twenty-six meter high monolith (and one meter wide) around which winding stairs had been inserted, then anchored one another with a co veneziano di San Paternian, che avevano fatto costruire non lontano da San Luca ed il cui nucleo iniziale risale alla metà del 1300. Non potendo per legge costruire torri (all’interno delle quali la Repubblica temeva possibili adunate di cospiratori contro lo stato) nacque l’idea di una scala esterna dallo stile lussuoso e innovativo che avesse la funzione di accesso monumentale per ospiti illustri e di simbolica dominazione della città. Anche Francesco Sansovino attesta che da qui - a differenza di oggi - era infatti possibile vedere dall’alto Piazza San Marco. I Contarini sullo scorcio del XV secolo investirono ingenti somme di denaro per un’opera di rinnovamento e abbellimento del loro palazzo che comportò non solo la costruzione della famosissima scala, ma anche interventi nella corte, nelle logge (oggi occluse per ragioni statiche) e nella facciata posteriore sul rio, un tempo affrescata. Solitamente le scale a Venezia erano ad angolo retto, mentre lo stilema del gotico fiorito imperversava (come attestano alcuni capolavori dell’epoca: le facciate della Ca’ d’Oro, 1377, e di Palazzo Ducale, 1480 circa), ma Piero Contarini pensò bene di ispirarsi al Rinascimento fiorentino e alla famosa Torre di Pisa per un monumento decisamente innovativo. Il Candi, pur essendo bravo tecnicamente, non era un architetto e ad un’attenta disamina affiorerebbero alcune imperfezioni nella costruzione della scala. Il cuore della scala costruito in pietra d’Istria creava un unico monolite di ventisei metri From the top of the staircase - the viewpoint - Venice can be dominated, however without ever being able to catch a glimpse of its founding element: water. Dalla sommità della scala, il belvedere, si domina Venezia, ma non si riesce a scorgere mai il suo elemento fondante: l’acqua. © IRE lead-cast and finally closed with an embellished “cork”. Imperfections can be noticed in the external column distribution between the second and last floor: some stairs have two columns while others have only one. However, the “Scala del Bovolo” remains one of the most interesting and fascinating Venetian monuments. In its courtyard there are also some precious wells - known as “vere da pozzo” - belonging to the artistic heritage of the “Istituzioni di Ricovero e Educazione” - IRE, a public organization offering services for minors and elderly people -, dating back to a period ranging from the XII-XIII century - a rare example of Byzantine style - to the XVII century with a Baroque wellcurb and a sarcophagus from the San Paterniano church demolished in ‘800. d’altezza (e uno di fondamenta), attorno a cui vennero infilati i gradini a spirale che con una colata di piombo dall’alto furono fissati e chiusi poi alla sommità con un “tappo” decorato. Imperfezioni sono visibili nella distribuzione delle colonne esterne tra il secondo e l’ultimo piano: alcuni gradini hanno due colonne, altri solo una e così via. La Scala del Bovolo resta comunque uno dei più interessanti ed affascinanti monumenti veneziani e nella sua corte trovano spazio anche alcune preziose vere da pozzo facenti parte del patrimonio artistico dell’IRE che datano dal XII-XIII secolo (un raro esempio di stile bizantino), fino al 1600 con una vera di stile barocco, oltre a un sarcofago proveniente dalla chiesa di San Paterniano demolita nell’800.

A handy and exhaustive guide “La Scala Contarini del Bovolo”, from which the historic notions of this article have been taken, is sold at the ticket office. © IRE FOCUS ON THE STAIRCASE CHEQUERED FORTUNE The Contarini remain the owners of “Palazzo del Bovolo” until the beginning of the eighteenth century, when a part of it went to the Minelli family in 1716 (since Elisabetta Contarini married Giovanni Minelli) becoming its only owner in 1772. It was during that period that one palace wing was turned into an inn, the “Locanda della Scala” or the staircase inn. In 1819, the last Minelli inheritors sell the Palace to Emery of Tolone who, in 1849, will donate it to the “Fraterna dei poveri of San Luca” - Confraternity of the poor of San Luca -, administrated by the Congregazione di Carità - Charity Congregation. In 1880, the palace is restored by the Congregation (a viewpoint loggia on the last floor of the staircase had already been reopened in 1872) becoming its headquarter and then registered in the name of Ludovico Manin, the last doge of Venice. The Charity Congregation is replaced, in 1937, by the ECA and by the IRE. The staircase restoration was financed by an American Committee from Minnesota and reopened in 1995. A project is being drawn up to bring the IRE headquarters now in Palazzo Falier on the Canal Grande - once again to the Contarini palace, together with its prestigious art collections. Other outstanding Venetian monuments belonging to the IRE are open to the public: the church of the Ospedaletto and the “Sala delle Musica”, the church of the Zitelle, the Oratorio dei Cruciferi, that will be the topic of future articles in this magazine.

The Cube Gallery differs from the former in its dedication for the most part to artists emerging from the Venetian scene both local and international. Its intention is to restore the relationship between young artists and private galleries, who have in the last few years given preference to established artists, with few exceptions. The aim of the gallery is also to be space of convergence and comparison between these artists who in the past have Serban Savu - 2004 had difficulty in finding spaces in “Omaggio a Duchamp” - cm 80 x 60 which to gather and exhibit, which meant they leaned towards a sometimes unproductive individualism. Born in 1990 from the collaboration between Massimiliano Bugno and Davide Samueli, the Bugno Art Gallery (formerly known as Bugno And Samueli) can be found in the main gallery space situated in Campo S. Fantin (a few hundred meters from Piazza San Marco and exactly in front of la Fenice theater). Since 1990, works by major contemporary artists both Alighiero Boetti - “Mistico romantico”. Arazzo - cm 17 x 17 Italian and international have been shown, from Arman to Schifano, Ben Vautier to Ugo Nespolo, Pizzinato to Guidi, giving space at the same time also to new artistic reality. Tuesday to Saturday 4 p.m. - 7.30 p.m. Inaugurata il 27 settembre 2002 la Cube Gallery nasce dalla collaborazione di Massimiliano Bugno e Paolo Vincenzi e dall’esperienza maturata in dodici anni di attività nella Bugno Art Gallery, rispetto alla quale la Cube si differenzierà dedicandosi maggiormente ad artisti emergenti del panorama veneziano, nazionale ed internazionale, con l’intento di ricucire una relazione tra i giovani artisti e le gallerie private, che negli ultimi anni, salvo pochissime eccezioni, hanno privilegiato la tradizione degli artisti già storicizzati. Obiettivo della galleria é anche quello di essere luogo di confronto per gli stessi artisti, che nella difficoltà di disporre di spazi espositivi e di aggregazione hanno teso a rinserrarsi in individualismi non sempre produttivi. Nata nel 1990 dalla collaborazione di Massimiliano Bugno e Davide Samueli, la Bugno Art Gallery (ex Bugno & Samueli) ha esposto in questi anni nella sede espositiva principale sita in Campo S. Fantin (a poche centinaia di metri da Piazza S. Marco ed esattamente di fronte al Teatro La Fenice) opere dei maggiori artisti contemporanei italiani e non, da Arman a Schifano, da Ben Vautier a Ugo Nespolo, da Pizzinato a Guidi, dando spazio allo stesso tempo anche a nuove realtà artistiche. A foundation that has the aim of spreading and increasing knowledge of contemporary art, it dedicates particular attention to young artists. With its main location in Saint Mark’s Square, it will soon become a place for looking up books, CD-Roms and other rare material. Temporary exhibition: Philip-Lorca di Corcia, photographs 1975-2003.

Giorgio Maggiore: Tintoretto’s eucharistic series Convento di S.Salvador: Telecom Future Centre Highlight: FACE TO FACE WITH ST. MARK The white Palladian façade of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore emerges... TINTORETTO’S EUCHARISTIC SERIES (1592-1594) Following the precepts of the Council of Trent, Tintoretto, among others, bore witness with his paintings to the new significance attached to the Eucharist. The paintings expand on the subject of Girolamo Campagna’s bronze High Altar: the Blessed Trinity on a gilded copper globe supported by the four Evangelists, aimed at representing the dogma of Transubstantiation. On one side of the altar Tintoretto painted The Harvest of Manna, an episode of the Old Testament heralding the Eucharist, on the other The Last Supper, that is the very moment of the inception of the sacrament. Appuntamento del mese: CHURCHES guide S. Giorgio Maggiore: Il ciclo eucaristico del Tintoretto Convento di S.Salvador: Telecom Future Centre Editoriale: LA DIRIMPETTAIA DI SAN MARCO La candida facciata palladiana della Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore sembra emergere... IL CICLO EUCARISTICO DEL TINTORETTO (1592-1594) Anche Tintoretto seguì i precetti del Concilio di Trento per rappresentare la nuova importanza assunta dall’Eucarestia. I dipinti sviluppano infatti il tema illustrato dall’opera di Girolamo Campagna sull’altare maggiore, un’immagine della SS. Trinità sopra un globo sostenuto dai quattro Evangelisti, a proclamare il dogma della Transustanziazione. Da un lato, infatti, Tintoretto raffigurò “La caduta della manna”, episodio che nel Vecchio Testamento preannuncia l’Eucarestia, dall’altro “L’Ultima Cena”, ovvero l’istituzione del sacramento stesso da parte di Cristo. he white Palladian façade of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore emerges, with its classical lines, from the lagoon fog like an enchanted, magic and mysterious element dazzling its visitors on clear sunny days and casting a spell on them at sunset, with the pink and orange sky and the dark colour of the Basin waters. In reality, the church does not contain mysteries but precious works of art and even more precious – for the then Venetians – relics, like the body of the protomartyr San Stefano, the first Christian martyr, therefore outstanding centre of attraction for pilgrims and believers. Stefano is one of the first seven deacons named by the Apostles , he was stoned to death in Jerusalem because his preaching and charges went against the Clergymen of the Temple. The story about his body is similar to the one a candida facciata palladiana della Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore sembra emergere con le sue linee classiche dalle nebbie della laguna come una cosa incantata, magica e ricca di mistero, mentre abbaglia il visitatore nelle limpide giornate assolate, e lo incanta al tramonto, tra il rosa e l’arancio del cielo e il colore cupo delle acque del Bacino. In realtà al suo interno racchiude, più che misteri, preziose opere d’arte e ancor più preziose (per i veneziani di allora) reliquie. Come il corpo di Santo Stefano protomartire, primo martire cristiano, e quindi importantissimo polo d’attrazione per pellegrini e fedeli. Stefano è uno dei primi sette diaconi nominati dagli Apostoli, lapidato a Gerusalemme perché la sua predicazione e le sue accuse erano scomode per i Sacerdoti del Tempio e la storia del suo corpo è quella di tante altre reliquie “trovate” (o trafuga- L te) dai fedeli naviganti veneziani reduci dalle terre d’Oriente: portato a Venezia nel lontano 1109, fu accompagnato da solenni cerimoniali liturgici e civili dai quali ebbe origine la tradizionale visita del Doge la notte di Natale e il giorno successivo (giorno di Santo Stefano) che, a detta degli storici, era una delle più importanti e suggestive feste dell’antica Repubblica. Vicino a lui, nella stessa chiesa, sono riposte anche alcune sacre spoglie di San Giorgio, il Cavaliere Cristiano, protettore dei Crociati. Egli uccide il Drago, simbolo di tutti i Vizi e i Peccati, per salvare la bella principessa infedele e ottenere così la conversione sua e del suo popolo. All’interno, una tela di Vittore Carpaccio, libera ripresa di quella che si può ammirare alla Scuola degli Schiavoni (dove è illustrato anche il resto della storia), mostra il giovane santo scagliarsi al galoppo contro la temibile belva. E’ conservata nella Cappella Superiore, che tra il dicembre del 1799 e il marzo del 1800 fu sede del Conclave (la riunione dei Cardinali) che elesse Papa Pio VII, cosa che dimostra l’importanza ancora attribuita all’epoca al potente convento benedettino sorto nel X secolo ed ampliatosi fino a comprendere tutta l’isola. La chiesa fu ricostruita tra il 1565 e il 1610 su progetto di Andrea Palladio, che seguì i precetti del Concilio di Trento appena conclusosi: lo spazio ampio della navata, con il coro attorno all’altare maggiore innalzato su gradini, ritorna alle basiliche delle origini cristiane rendendo la chiesa adatta a forme liturgiche e devozionali rinnovate e lasciando più posto ai fedeli.

In 1804 the church was extensively restructured under the supervision of architect Davide Rossi. These works were so costly that, after escaping the Napoleonic expropriations, the church found itself having to sell off many of its works of art. In 1930, after renovation and restoration works, the splendid wooden ceiling shaped like a ship's hull was returned to its former splendour. The possibility of comparing the works by G.B. and Giandomenico Tiepolo - father and son - is particularly interesting. To see: The Apparition of the Virgin before Saint Giovanni Nepomuceno by G.B.

CHURCHES guide CHURCHES guide of many other relics “found” – or rather stolen – by faithful Venetian sea-goers returning form Eastern lands. Brought to Venice in the remote 1109, the body had been accompanied by solemn liturgical and civil ceremonials which gave rise to the tradition of the Doge’s visit on Christmas day and on the following day – the day of San Stefano – that was, according to historians, the most outstanding and suggestive of all the feasts of the ancient Republic. Resting close to him, in the same church, there are the sacred remains of San Giorgio, the Christian Knight, protector of the Crusaders. He killed the Dragon, symbol of all Vices and Sins, to save the beautiful unfaithful princess thus obtaining his people’s and his own conversion. The church contains a canvas by Vittore Carpaccio quoting the one that can be admired at the ‘Scuola degli Schiavoni’ – illustrating the rest of the story – depicting the young saint wading himself at a gallop into the dangerous beast. It is preserved in the Superior Chapel, that was, between December 1799 and March 1800, seat of the Conclave – meeting of Cardinals – that elected Pope Pio VII. This testifies to the importance attached at that time to the Benedictine convent built in the X century and later enlarged to cover the entire island. The church was rebuilt between 1565 and 1610 on the project of Andrea Palladio, who followed the precepts of the Council of Trent that had terminated at that time. The wide nave, the raised choir around the main altar recall the basilicas of the Christian origin making it perfectly fit for renewed liturgical and devotional forms and leaving more room for believers. ried by the Senate after the plague that struck Venice in 1575.

Each has its own history. obody is actually quite sure exactly how many there are. Guide-books on Venice talk of about 400, but the figure is not precise. An exact count is difficult not least because the very definition of a bridge in Venice is rather tricky to pin down. Should it include the private ones, those just above the water, those connecting two buildings separated by a canal, double and triple bridges and those within the Venice Arsenal? Those who have made the effort to count claim that there is a total of 434 bridges connecting the more than 100 islands making up Venice. Each has its own history. One example is the Bridge of Tits in San Cassiano between the districts of San Polo and San Croce. It was given this name because the windows of the building at the foot of the bridge were used by prostitutes to expose their breasts and legs on the authority of the Senate of the Republic, a measure that hoped to counteract the popularity of sodomy, a common practice in Renaissance Venice. Or there is the very famous and much-photographed Bridge of Sighs connecting the Doge’s Palace with the Prison building, designed by Antonio Condino and completed in 1600. It takes its name from the popular belief that it was possible to hear the sighs of prisoners taken in chains from the n realtà non si sa quanti siano. Sulle guide di Venezia si parla di “circa 400”, ma il dato è impreciso. Difficile contarli soprattutto perché non si sa come definire un ponte. Quelli privati, quelli a raso sull’acqua, quelli che collegano due palazzi separati da un canale, quelli doppi e tripli e quelli interni all’ Arsenale di Venezia. Chi li ha contati dice che in città ce ne siano in tutto 434 che collegano da riva a riva più di 100 isole. Per ognuno di questi c’è una storia da raccontare. Come il Ponte delle Tette a San Cassiano fra i sestieri di San Polo e Santa Croce, chiamato così perché alle finestre del palazzetto, ai piedi di questo ponte, si affacciavano alcune prostitute autorizzate dal Senato della Repubblica a mostrare i seni e ad esporre le gambe dai balconi per contrastare la sodomia che nel Rinascimento era pratica assai diffusa fra i veneziani. O il celeberrimo e fotografatissimo ponte dei Sospiri che collega il Palazzo Ducale al Palazzo delle Prigioni, progettato da Antonio Contino e ultimato nel 1600, che prese il nome dalla voce popolare che voleva sospiranti i prigionieri che dal tribunale venivano accompagnati in catene alle prigioni di Stato dove spesso subivano dolorosissime prigionie. Tutti, dal più sconosciuto al più studiato, mantengono I Drawbridge over the Royal Gardens. Ponte Chiodo in Cannaregio: the last bridge without railings. SPECIAL 3 bridges in Venice ponti a Venezia © Archivio Storico Comunale “Fondo Giacomelli” 434 IL PONTE DELL’ACCADEMIA In the first decades of the new century, with the spreading of new constructive technologies, a competition was announced for the creation of a new bridge just in front of the “Gallerie”. The 1933 winner project – by Torres and Briazza – was not carried out in the end. However, the work was to be renewed and the present bridge, originally planned to be only provisory, was constructed. IL PONTE DELL’ACCADEMIA Nei primi decenni del ventesimo secolo, con l'affermarsi di moderne tecnologie costruttive, venne indetto un concorso per la realizzazione di un nuovo ponte di fronte alle Gallerie. Il progetto vincitore del 1933 (Torres e Briazza) non venne poi realizzato. Rimaneva comunque la necessità di rinnovare l'opera: fu costruito un ponte che, solo nelle intenzioni, doveva essere provvisorio. © Archivio Storico Comunale “Fondo Giacomelli” inalterato il proprio fascino. Il Ponte del Paradiso, tra San Lio e Santa Maria Formosa, chiamato in questo modo forse per via dello sfarzo durante i venerdì di festa. Ma anche Ponte del Diavolo, Ponte dell’Angelo, Ponte dei Miracoli, della Donna Onesta, dei Cuoridoro, della Guerra, de la Pazienza, del Sepolcro, dei Squartai, della Umiltà, dei Muti, della Pietà. Spesso i loro nomi sono quelli dei proprietari dei palazzi vicini, oppure fanno riferimento all’artigiano che nei pressi del ponte lavorava o al commercio che lì vicino si teneva: Ponte delle Erbe, del Formager (formaggiaio), del Forner (del fornaio), del Forno, del Megio (miglio), della Veste, delle Vele (c’era un fabbricante di vele per barca). Insomma i ponti a Venezia non sono solo uno strumento di collegamento, ma descrivono la storia del quotidiano in questa particolarissima città. Venezia si mostrava come un cumulo di isole e isolotti, vicini abbastanza da essere uniti uno all’altro. Il più grande di questi era Rivo Alto che nel 1172 fu collegato a campo San Bartolomio da un grande ponte di barche. Se non per questa unione, le due parti della città rimasero divise dal lungo serpentone del Canal Grande fino al 1852 quando, sotto la dominazione austriaca, si costruì il Ponte dell’Accademia fra San Vidal e Campo della Carità, fra i sestieri di San Marco e Dorsoduro. I primi ponti costruiti a cavallo di due rive furono delle semplici passerelle piane in legno da spostare al passaggio di piccole imbarcazioni, costantemente aggrediti dall’umido e bisognosi di manutenzioni. Uno fra i primi ponti costruiti in pietra fu quello di San ges was the one dating from around 1337 at San Barnaba in Dorsoduro. From the records it appears that the very first stone bridge was the Ponte della Canonica, built in the twelfth century. Often bridges were built unannounced over a single night, so much so that many of such bridges were given (and kept) the name Ponte delle Meravegie”. This was also because already at the end of the 13th century such practices were forbidden. All were originally built without parapets - these were added later for safety reasons. Few bridges are left without parapets: the Ponte Chiodo, found at the end of the Fondamenta San Felice in Cannaregio, and restored in 1930, is one; another is the Ponte del Diavolo on Torcello island. Even the Ponte dei Pugni did not have parapets. It marked the division between two popular factions in the City - the Castellani and the Nicolotti, who were always in dispute. Among the first to live in the districts of San Marco, Castello and the eastern part of Dorsoduro were the Arsenalotti, the skilled workmen employed in the Venice Arsenal. The Nicolotti lived in the quarters of Cannaregio, San Polo, San Croce and the western part of Dorsoduro. They included the proud fishermen of San Niccolò dei Mendicoli. From 1292 onwards, fist fights could be seen from September to Christmas, staged on the various bridges throughout Venice. Since the San Barnaba bridge could be seen by the greatest number of spectators from the houses nearby, but these hand-to-hand battled were abolished in 1705. 1934 - The ponte degli Scalzi (in the photograph, close to the 19th century iron one) near the railway station. 1934 - Il ponte degli Scalzi (nella foto accanto a quello ottocentesco in ferro) in prossimità della stazione dei treni. © Archivio Storico Comunale “Fondo Giacomelli” Barnaba in sestiere di Dorsoduro intorno al 1337, ma le cronache fanno risalire la prima costruzione in pietra al ponte della Canonica nel XII secolo. Spesso si costruivano di nascosto, in una sola notte, tanto che molti di questi presero e mantennero il nome di “Ponte delle Meravegie” (delle Meraviglie) anche perché senza permessi, già dal finire del 1200, tale pratica era vietata e punita. Tutti erano senza parapetti, poi costruiti negli anni fino all’800 per ragioni di sicurezza. Di questi ne resta uno in città, il Ponte Chiodo alla fine della Fondamenta San Felice a Cannaregio, nonostante sia stato restaurato nel 1930. Un altro è quello del Diavolo a Torcello. Non aveva parapetti nemmeno il Ponte dei Pugni che collega Campo e rio Terà Santa Margherita a Campo San Barnaba. Divideva due fazioni popolari della città: i Castellani e i Nicolotti, sempre in lotta fra loro. Fra i primi, che abitavano i sestieri di San Marco, Castello e la parte orientale di Dorsoduro, c’erano gli arsenalotti, gli operai specializzati dell’ Arsenale. Fra i Nicolotti, che abitavano Cannaregio, San Polo, Santa Croce e Dorsoduro di ponente, c’erano i fieri pescatori di San Niccolò dei Mendicoli. Tra settembre e Natale, dal 1292, si combattevano lotte a mani nude su diversi ponti di Venezia, ma quello di San Barnaba poteva contenere più spettatori alle finestre delle case vicine e fu scelto per le numerose occasioni di scontro. Tali lotte furono abolite nel 1705 perché definite troppo cruente. SPECIAL SPECIAL Court to the State Prisons where they were invariably imprisoned with great cruelty. All these bridges - from the least known to the most famous and best studied -have lost none of their fascination. The Paradise Bridge between San Lio and Santa Maria Formosa gained this name perhaps because of the splendour of the area during Friday feast days. Other names include the Devil’s Bridge, Angel’s Bridge, Bridge of Miracles, of the Honest Woman, Golden-hearted, of War, of Patience, of the Sepulchre, of the Executed, of Humbleness, of the Dumb, of Pity. Often their names are those of the owners of the nearby buildings or refer to the crafts or trades carried out nearby: Bridge of Herbs, Cheese-maker, baker, bakery, millet, clothes, sails. Venetian bridges are thus not solely a means of connection but are also a description of the social history of this very special city. Venice began life as a group of islands and islets that were close enough to be joined together. The biggest of these was Rivo Alto. In 1172 it was connected to Campo San Bartolomeo by a large pontoon bridge. Had it not been for this bridge, the city would have been divided in two by the long, snaking Grand Canal. This was up to 1852 when, under Austrian dominion, the Accademia bridge was built between San Vidal and Campo della Carità, joining the districts of St. Mark’s and Dorsoduro. The first bridges used to connect the two sides of a canal were little more than wooden catwalks that had to be moved to allow free passage to boats. They were always vulnerable to the damp environment and needed frequent maintenance.

Each of the glasses sold could not contain less than 100ml. This is the origin of the name “ombra” under which all Venetians call even today a glass of wine. A tradition reflecting the nature and the scent of this marvellous and unique city. Today, in the Doges’ city 50,000 ‘ombre’ are drunk everyday. A substantial figure for a city of no more than 75,000 inhabitants. L’ombra di Venezia is a homage to the long-standing Venetian tradition. In front of a glass of wine new friendships are formed and old ones are reinforced, deals are clinched and communicating becomes easier. Venice, its nature, history, the character of its inhabitants are centred on this rite. L’ombra di Venezia enshrines all these characteristics. The Pinot Grigio, preserved here, is 100% Venetian because is produced, in limited quantity, with a true Venetian passion in the same earth that provided wine for the Palazzo Ducale centuries ago. Its essence is characterized by the scents of Italy. Its colour is the result of the sun that has ripened the grapes. Thanks to this extraordinary wine, you can breath the cordiality and friendship which can still be found today on the shades of the Campanile. With L’ombra di Venezia you can savour the true Venetian tastes, experience the atmosphere, history and tradition of an almost imaginary city. Holding your own bottle of wine and drinking it from your own glasses means possessing a tiny part of that wonder. Indeed, bottles and glasses are created by a famous master glassmaker of Murano. Unique and matchless pieces produced in a limited edition of 999 samples each different from one another. The glass The bottle of “L’ombra di Venezia”, made of Murano glass, has been created with the ancient technique of the mosaic melted at high temperature. The sand has been given its shape and colour by the fire. While the rest, the soul of this type of Murano glass, derives from the technique and experience of the master glassmaker who has created it by blowing on the shapeless amalgam. This particular glass has been therefore created out of that blow, out of the technique enshrined in the inviolable secrets of the furnace. Unique and inimitable. The origin certificate and the ‘murrina’ set in the glass guarantee its quality and originality. The wine The Pinot Grigio “L’ombra di Venezia” is produced in the Italian farm ‘La Vigna del Cason Brusà’ and is the result of an accurate analysis of the “terroir” carried out in cooperation with the ‘Istituto Sperimentale’ of Conegliano. Different clones of Pinot Grigio– from two to five – have been planted in the same vineyard, so as to emphasize their best characteristics. The harvested product, unique in its characteristics, undergoes a treatment which respects both the tradition and the quality of the grapes. A hard and intense process for a unique top quality. “L’ombra di Venezia” – ‘ombra’ meaning glass of wine in the Venetian dialect – reflects the professional ability of the enterprise renowned in Italy and abroad.

Il Branzino di Andrea Heinrich la preda meravigliosa T he major ambition for all Venetian fishers, amateurs and experts, has always been the catch of a fine seabass exemplar. The reasons underlying this hope are various: starting from the high commercial value of this fish – exception made for the “valley” species – whose exquisite flesh is characterized by its high density, whiteness and savour. Being the sea-bass available all year round, at dusk, fishers equipped with fishing lines can be seen from the Venice lagoon to the Lido seashores awaiting in meditative silence the marvellous prey. As for all high value species, the past thirty years have seen an increase in the number of seabass valley farms. There are two types of farms: “on the ground” using large containment fish-ponds and “in the sea” with large delimitation cages. The best method is the latter one since the fish lives as if it were in its natural habitat. The farm sea-bass differs from the wild one in the colour: darker on the back and brighter on the sides. No need to mention the complete difference in the taste and density of the exemplars caught in their natural habitat. Certain Venetian restaurants, in constant contact with expert fishers, do still offer the latter type of sea-bass. THE RECIPE SEA-BASS FILLET WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS AND REDCURRANT DINING guide Ingredients 2 whole large sea-basses (500g. each) 200g. fresh porcini mushrooms 100g. redcurrant, 1 clove of garlic 1 knob of butter, extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 glass of dry white wine parsley, flour, salt and pepper Clean the mushrooms, slice them and fry them in a pan with oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. When it is cooked add the parsley. Clean and scale the sea-basses, flour them and place them in a hot pan with butter and a tablespoon of olive oil. Brown them on both sides. Add the wine, mushrooms and the crumbled redcurrant. Cook for a few minutes. Serenissimi Sapori CANOVA L’ ambizione massima di ciascun pescatore veneziano, dilettante o professionista che sia, è da sempre la cattura di un bell’esemplare di branzino. Varie sono le motivazioni che nutrono la speranza, a partire dal gran valore commerciale di questo pesce (eccezion fatta per quelli “di valle”) che ha carni tanto delicate quanto caratterizzate da densità, bianchezza e sapore. La sua reperibilità nell’arco di tutto l’anno fa si che ogni giorno, all’imbrunire, dalla laguna di Venezia ai litorali del Lido incappiamo in gruppi di pescatori che armati di più lenze, attendono in meditativo silenzio la “mangiata” del branzino. Come per ogni altra specie ittica di pregio, negli ultimi trent’anni anche per il branzino ha preso largo piede l’allevamento in valle: due sono i tipi di allevamento, “a terra” con l’utilizzo di grandi vasche di contenimento ed “in mare” con l’utilizzo di grandi gabbie per la delimitazione. Quest'ultimo è sicuramente il sistema migliore poiché il pesce vive e si nutre come nell'habitat naturale; il branzino d'allevamento si differenzia da quello selvatico per il colore: più scuro sul dorso e nettamente più chiaro sui fianchi. Inutile sottolineare l’abissale distanza per gusto e consistenza delle carni degli esemplari pescati allo stato naturale. Qualche ristoratore veneziano è tuttora in grado di offrire branzino di quest’ultimo tipo, mantenendo settimanalmente contatti con pescatori professionisti. "Scopriteci per i vostri business lunch... ritornerete con i vostri amici" Il Ristorante Canova, premiato dal Gambero rosso, intimo ed elegante, offre una raffinata cucina. Grazie all’estro dello chef Cosimo Giampaolo, abbina i migliori piatti della tradizione veneta a portate nazionali. Contesto adatto per meeting, colazioni di lavoro e occasioni importanti, è al tempo stesso il punto di ritrovo ideale per cenare tra amici o per una romantica serata a lume di candela.

In five years work, all pieces have been inventoried, photographed and, where necessary, restored.

ANDREA PALLADIO AND THE VENETIAN VILLA Palazzo Barbaran da Porto, Vicenza - From 5 March to 3 July The extraordinary exponent of the Belle Époque and of its brilliant protagonists. Giovanni Boldini started off in the experimental environment of the “Macchiaioli” and soon confronted the international scene following his own route characterized by an entirely personal way of painting, still susceptible to the new and at the same time deeply rooted in the tradition of Italian and European art, from Velazquez to Tiepolo. On display the selection of one hundred and twenty works, chosen among Boldini’s large collection, coming from major museums - like the Rome “Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna”, the Naples “Capodimonte”, the Paris “Musée d’Orsay”, the New York “Metropolitan Museum” and “Philadelphia Museum” - and from private European and American collections. Il magnifico interprete della Belle Epoque e dei suoi brillanti protagonisti. Giovanni Boldini, partendo dall’ambiente sperimentale dei macchiaioli, si è presto confrontato con la ribalta internazionale seguendo un suo percorso attraverso un modo del tutto personale di dipingere, ancora sensibile al nuovo ma altrettanto radicato nella tradizione dell’arte italiana ed europea, tra Velazquez e Tiepolo. Della enorme produzione pittorica di Boldini sono state selezionate circa centoventi opere, provenienti dai maggiori musei (la Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma, Capodimonte a Napoli, il Musée d’Orsay di Parigi, il Metropolitan Museum di New York, il Philadelphia Museum) e collezioni private europee e americane.

A Enrico III di Francia bastò il tempo di partecipare ad un ricevimento per vedere ultimata una galera veneziana. Pare che la Serenissima volesse mandare un implicito messaggio della sua potenza e rapida organizzazione in caso di attacco o necessità. A quanto si sa il messaggio fu inteso. Per altri versi gli arsenalotti furono tenuti in così alta considerazione che rimasero per anni le uniche persone tra i non appartenenti al ceto nobiliare, cui era consentito di non inginocchiarsi davanti al doge: erano considerati infatti la sua guardia personale. Qualcosa di questo doppio filo tra San Marco e l’Arsenale dev’essere rimasto ancora oggi, visto che spetta ai Vigili del Fuoco normalmente di stanza all’Arsenale l’onore di presiedere all’alza e ammaina bandiera in Piazza San Marco. Anche sulla bandiera di Venezia, il Gonfalone, c’è qualcosa da dire: oggi, oltre ad essere il simbolo unanimemente riconosciuto di Venezia, è anche il vessillo del Veneto, Regione di cui la città è capoluogo. Quando al momento della loro costituzione, negli anni Settanta del secolo passato, le Regioni d’Italia dovettero dotarsi di una bandiera da esporre, l’unica che poté farlo senza dover adattare o inventare un simbolo che potesse rappresentarla fu proprio il Veneto. Che è dunque l’unica regione ad avere una vera e propria bandiera. Mestre DANTE HOSTERIA Via Dante, 53 - Mestre ph. +39.041.959421 - Closed Sundays Mestre DIETRO LE QUINTE P.tta C.

It took Henry III of France the time of taking part to a banquet to see a Venetian Galera (combat ship) being built up: the Serenissima was apparently aiming at getting through a message on its ability of responding in the event of an attack. The message was most probably acknowledged. The Arsenal workers’ reputation was so good that they were the only persons, not belonging to the upper crust, who were allowed to stand (not kneel down) when meeting the Doge: they were considered a sort of personal guard of the Doge. This privilege was somehow maintained down the centuries and the Fire Brigade who is normally stationed at the Arsenal, is bestowed with the honour of presiding over the flag-raising and the flag-lowering ceremonies in St. Mark’s Square. The flag of Venice, the so called Gonfalone, has a peculiar history too: today it is not only the symbol of the city but of the entire Veneto Region. When in the 1870s Italian regions – that were formed in that period – were to adopt a distinguishing flag, Veneto was the only region that needn’t invent a symbol. The Veneto region is therefore the only region who can boast a flag in the true sense of the word.
