Adjoining is a house which also has pretty Gothic windows, and then the dull and neglected Palazzo Mocenigo, with brown posts.

Then comes the Rio S.Gio.
Crisostomo, and next it a house newly faced, and then the fascinating remains of the twelfth-century Palazzo Lion, consisting of an exposed staircase and a very attractive courtyard with round and pointed arches.
It is now a rookery.

Washing is hung in the loggia at the top, and ragged children lean from the windows.
[Illustration: THE RIALTO BRIDGE FROM THE PALAZZO DEI DIECI SAVII] Next, a pretty little house which might be made very liveable in, facing the fruit market, and then the hideous modern Sernagiotto, dating from 1847 and therefore more than negligible.

A green little house with a sottoportico under it, and then a little red brick prison and the ugly Civran palace is reached.

Next, the Perducci, now a busy statuary store, and next it the Ca Ruzzini, all spick and span, and the Rio dell'Olio o del Fontego, through which come the fruit barges from Malamocco.
