I.m working on a new product series, basically, the back areas of Venice. Dark alleys, assassins, bordellos, taverns, and of course, since it's Venice...the stench. I'm using a book on Venetian Domestic Architecture I picked up on a trip to Venice. It's pretty cool with dozens of line drawings of modest Venetian homes. My wife and I are using Covid as an excuse to redo our backyard. A major component is a lattice pavilion decorated in Turkish style. I mentioned to my wife that Venetian windows were often done in Moorish style, which to the Venetians represented Ottoman style. She wants to borrow the book. I fear I might never see it again.

Venice is certainly infectious, isn't it?
I don't recall all the terms, but there are far fewer canals now than in the old days and more streets that are filled in canals, so some of the street names follow canal nomenclature. I take it that the ABC Dead End Canal, once filled in and paved would still be called the ABC Dead End Canal. Need to keep your Google Maps updated
