in the morning light. The Accademia Bridge crosses the
Grand Canal. A back street doubles as basketball
court. Palaces house residents, or like Ca' Foscari a
university, or a museum like Ca’ Rezzonico that
attracts Venetians for concerts. Dorsoduro reveals its
industrial roots too, in buildings converted to house
university departments or exhibitions. Campo Santa
Margherita bursts with youthful energy from local
students. Foot traffic bustles to and from Piazzale
Roma and Santa Lucia train station. Evening commuters
pause for an aperitivo. Neighbors exchange confidants
in a campo (square) on their way to market.
