Campiello del Remer

If you search through the archives you will see that I posted the two photos that make up this 'panorama' a while ago. It is one of the two campiellos (campielli) with this name in Cannaregio. There are two more, one in San Polo and one in Dorsoduro. This campiello is situated on the bend in the Grand Canal just north of the Rialto Bridge.
According to one site, a 'remer' was a carpenter who specialised in carving forcole. 'Remare', in Italian, means to row .
