A Wanderer in Venice

CHAPTER XI
8/20

Next is the Palazzo Marcello, and here too the Duchesse de Berry lived for a while.

The next, with the little prophet's chamber on the facade and a fine Gothic window and balcony, is the fifteenth-century Erizzo.

Then the Piovene, with fluted window pillars and marble decorations; then the Emo, another antiquity shop, with a fine view down the canal from its balcony.

A traghetto is here, and then the Palazzo Molin, now a business house, and the Rio della Maddalena.

The palace adjoining the Rio is the Barbaro, with an ancient relief on it representing little people being blessed by the Madonna; and then the Barbarigo, with remains of frescoes still to be seen, of which one of a goat and infant is pretty.
