Experience Dorsoduro
Between Campo San Barnaba and Campo Santa Margherita, Dorsoduro invites you to explore Venice on foot, among its narrow streets, shops, museums, and bacari.
Near the church of San Barnaba, you’ll find the Ponte dei Pugni, associated with the historic rivalries between the Nicolotti and Castellani. From here, you can continue to the Ponte dell’Accademia and Piazza San Marco.
Campo Santa Margherita, about a five-minute walk from the apartment, is one of the liveliest spots in the neighborhood: a great place to stop for a coffee, an aperitif or dinner.
Towards the Giudecca Canal, you can discover the squeri, traditional boatyards where gondolas are built and repaired, and stop at a bacaro along the waterfront.
A home with a Venetian story
Ea casa de mì preserves traces of Venice’s artisan history: it once housed a stonemason’s workshop.
The name Sotoportego del Tagiapiera refers to the stonecutters, artisans who worked with Istrian stone.
Inside, the exposed beams retain the marks used to identify the timber during its river transport to the lagoon. In the bedroom, the wooden panelling of a staircase leading to the upper floor is still visible.
The two small courtyards also tell the story of the building’s changes over time: Istrian stone window frames, brick walls, and traces of old openings that were later closed up.
These details, described in the architect’s notes, make the home part of the neighbourhood’s history.
History and Architecture
The home and its neighborhood: history and architecture
Summary from the historical and cultural notes by architect Carlo Battain
A historic neighborhood
The apartment is located in one of the oldest parts of the Dorsoduro district, along routes connecting the Grand Canal with the Mendicoli area. Venice developed gradually, through the growth of several inhabited centers and a network of pedestrian and water routes.
Calle Lunga San Barnaba, between Rio di San Barnaba and Rio di Malpaga, is part of this historic fabric. The Sotoportego and Campiello del Tagliapietra preserve in their names the memory of a lapicida workshop—a craftsperson specialising in stonework.
Traces of history inside the home
The building shows signs of successive alterations: materials from different periods, added sections and changes to the layout.
The exposed beams retain identifying marks used to identify the timber during its river transport to the lagoon. In the bedroom, you can see wooden panelling from a staircase leading to the upper floor.
The courtyards feature Istrian stone window surrounds, brickwork and traces of openings that have been bricked up over time.
San Barnaba and the Ponte dei Pugni
The church gives its name to Campo, Calle and Rio di San Barnaba. The notes recall its ancient origins and its 18th-century renovation by architect Lorenzo Boschetti.
At the corners of the nearby Ponte dei Pugni, Istrian stone imprints recall the historic rivalries between the Castellani and Nicolotti. Crossing the bridge takes you to Campo Santa Margherita, one of the neighbourhood’s main hubs of everyday life.
Art and architecture itineraries
From the apartment, you can reach Ca’ Rezzonico and the Gallerie dell’Accademia. The neighborhood also offers routes to the Church of San Sebastiano, associated with the work of Paolo Veronese, Palazzo Zenobio, the Carmini, and the Scuola Grande dei Carmini.
Toward the Punta della Salute, the route continues past the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Punta della Dogana and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute.
A stroll along the Zattere
The Zattere promenade faces the Giudecca Canal. Facing south, it offers a waterside walk with lagoon views and places to stop for a bite or a drink.
The location of Ea casa de mì makes it easy to combine the best-known sights with a chance to discover everyday Venice, among its calli, fondamenta and campi.
