Capitolo 5 Venice seen from the water

2 - Going out for a walk through canals and rii"
pag.  1 2 3 

 The water ways in Venice can be of 3 kinds: 1 - without shores or fondamente at their sides 2 - with a shore or fondamenta on one side 3 - with 2 shores or fondamente on 2 sides.
 The ones of the first kind are those that offer the most hidden images of the city, because accessible only from water; but also the others give a "different" sight with respect to the one we can enjoy from the earth, as proof of the sharp separation of the 2 roads.
