Painting plein air with a Venetian artist: Sestiere di Cannaregio (Cannaregio neighborhood)

Second spotlight on a series of location which are particularly suited for en plein air work. Matilde Dolcetti will take you away from the crowded tourist routes, in hidden spots that have been selected because of their landscape, beauty, light, spacial elements and tranquillity. The visit continues in Cannaregio, the ‘sestiere’ where the Scuola is located.

Canals behind Santa Fosca➤
Beautiful view from small bridges and from the ‘fondamenta’, the walkways on the canals.

Campo della Maddalena➤
This is a small campo with a canal and portocos which reflect on the water.
