Venice Pictures - A Campo in Venice


Venice - Campo
Anywhere else it's called a piazza. Not in Venice. In Venice only the Piazza San Marco is grand enough to be called a piazza. The concept of a campo is an indicator of Venice's humble beginings; it has a pozzo (a well, filled by the rainwater from the roofs of the surrounding houses) and usually a church. This one, with its solitary tree and benches filled with women, was my favorite.
