A Secret Place


Another hidden courtyard, a "Corte Sconta" as Venice possesses so much. So near to the crowds of visitors, yet so well hidden that hardly anybody knows them even among the Venetian people. And as for any other "secret place" in Venice, I'm not supposed to tell you where it is... Let's the secret remain! Maybe you will have the pleasure to stumble upon and discover these antique architectural elements (11th to 17th centuries) arranged on this strong buttress, in this cobblestone paved entrance loved by author Hugo Pratt and his adventurer character Corto Maltese.
