Corte Sconta

In Venice, some places are overcrowded. Everybody knows them.
Some other places are off the beaten tracks, far from the historical center, but easy to find anyway for the visitor who likes to wander a little in the side streets.
And there is a third kind of places : the hidden courtyards or "corte sconte" places that are not seen from the street. One have to take some hidden and winding passageways to arrive there. You will hardly see them, even if you look for them. But if, by any chance you happen to discover one, it will make your day. You'll keep the direction in mind and will just reveal it to your best and more trusty friends.
