A Wanderer in Venice

CHAPTER VIII
11/16

Next is a delightful little house with one of the old cup-chimneys, forming one of the most desirable residences in Venice.

It has a glazed loggia looking down to the Riva.

We next come to a brand new spacious building divided into apartments, then a tiny house, and then the rather squalid Palazzo Martinengo.

The calle and traghetto of S.Gregorio, and two or three old palaces and the new building which now holds Salviati's glass business, follow.

After the Rio del Formase is a common little house, and then the Palazzo Volkoff, once Eleonora Duse's Venetian home.
Next is the splendid fifteenth-century Palazzo Dario, to my eyes perhaps the most satisfying of all, with its rich colouring, leaning walls, ancient chimneys and porphyry decorations.
