Now, I seriously need to get these projects flowing again. I still have the big projects- Rialto Bridge and San Zan, and I have seen a couple apartments and warehouses. Working on the Trachyte Pavers for the Macedonian church, I have a tiling method that I think will be outstanding for Venice, I just need to get the edging stone worked out. I have to thank monstersbtm for some excellent photos to help me with that and other projects. I also still want to do a Ràscona and a traghetto. I actually was pretty close to having the two columns from Saint Mark's. Eventually, I would like to do some figures of commoners, nobles and clergy. I started on the Commedia dell' Arte figures and need to get enough of them that they could be a set. And I want to do a couple versions of Sotoportego. Nomenclature is a little confusing here. 'A passage under a building, generally the same height as the first floor'. There are some where they are the street where buildings were extended over the street. I also think the term refers to the ground floor open porticos, like at the Rialto Market or the front of Ca d'Oro, but I could be wrong. Either way, I think that Venice needs them Shep-inspired, but not necessarily 'Venice' is that DaVinci Glider

Great job guys. Vermin king, I didn't know what a rascona was: you opened my mind, thank you! About sotoportego, them term can be used in a very flexible way. It's usually referred to a tunnel that pass inside a building (as you said), but can also be a sort of a porch or even a covered walkway alongside a canal. The elements that you are always going to find are the pillars/colomns and the coverage.
I can't wait to see you San zan degolà (and Rialto Bridge of course!)
