With the Ghetto, the Madonna dell'Orto church, and some picturesque canals, Cannaregio has plenty of things to see and keep you busy for the better part of the day.
Cannaregio was home to Tintoretto, the 16th century painter, and I saw the house where he lived, close to the Campo dei Mori. The latter has 4 statues of Moors - not, as might be expected, Arabs, but merchants from the south of Greece who lived in Venice. Especially after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Greeks established themselves in Venice - they must have felt at home in this city on islands. After a short stop for a downpour of rain, I went straight to the Madonna dell'Orto, the slender belltower of which I had seen looming over the houses of Cannaregio. The church proved, in fact, to be like a local museum for Tintoretto: not only does it have some great works of the painter, Tintoretto is also buried here. Interestingly, the church was initially dedicated to the traveler - situated close to the end of the city, its aim was to protect the gondoliers who would set off to the northern islands close to here. A statue of Madonna found in a nearby orto or vegetable garden, according to legend responsible for several miracles, was transferred to the church in the 14th century.
