Once you are at Piazzale Roma cross Ponte Papadopoli (1) which is on
the opposite the large white building of the comunal car park.
Once you have crossed the long steps of this modern bridge, go straight on,
go past the Papadopoli Gardens and then below a double arcade (2) that leads
to the next bridge. Once you have crossed this turn right (3) (if you turn left
you follow the route Rialto-S.Marco).
Walk along the Fondamenta dei Tolentini, follow the canal turning left
(4) in to Fondamenta Minotto and then continue straight on for the Salizada
S.Pantalon (5) and half of Calle Vinanti.
Before you reach the wooden bridge turn right (6) into Campiello Mosca
and cross one more bridge, bringing you to Campo S.Pantalon (7).
Cross the other canal and you find yourself in Campo S.Margherita (8).
You have to cross the whole square diagonally and once you get to the end (keeping
the isolated house block to your right) you turn left and then right into Rio
terà canal (9).
You across Ponte dei pugni and after walking along a short stretch of Fondamenta
you will find yourselves in Campo S.Barnaba (10) (famous thanks to an
Indiana Jones film).
Now go under the Sotoportego del casin dei nobili (The aristocrats' brothel
-the name itself says it all!), go straight on until you reach the Fondamenta
della toletta, where you have to turn left (11) and after crossing a
bridge you continue along a stretch of Fondamenta Priuli (12) on the left and
Calli Corfù and Gambara, bringing you to Campo della Carità, also
known as Accademia (13).
You have to cross the great ponte dell'Accademia and
go across Campo and Campiello S.Vidal, bringing you to Campo S.Stefano
(or Francesco Morosini) (14) at the end of which you can see the homonymous
church.
Now, before you reach the church, you have to turn into a narrow street (Calle
del spezier) which is approximately half way down the longer right-hand side
of the square, roughly opposite the statue of Nicolò Tommaseo (called
the "cagalibri" due to the position of the tomes).
You now continue in an "almost" straight line along Calle del piovan,
Campo S.Maurizio, Calle Zaguri, a bridge, Campiello della feltrina (15), another
bridge, and Campo S.Maria del Giglio (or S.Maria Zobenigo) with the homonymous
church on the left.
Now follow Calle and Ponte delle ostreghe (16) (from here you can see the remains
of the Teatro La Fenice on the left) and then the large street Via 22 marzo.
If you look ahead you can already see the church of S.Moisé
(17) which you leave behind you on your right while continuing along the homonymous
Salizada.
You will now find yourself in the Bocca di Piazza and when you walk under the
porticos of the Ala Napoleonica you will finally have
reached Piazza S.Marco (18).
