📜📸 Santa Croce. The first Sestiere (district) we all meet when arriving in Venice by car, bus, tram or ship. You can see it on the Map☝️ ❤️bordered in red❤️.
Generally it is less considered and visited because everyone heads to the centre and doesn't stop in #SantaCroce. Which is a pity because there's a great local vibe here we can't find in the touristy centre: all daily workers, locals and students (Venice University is here) use to gather in small "bacari" (typical Venetian wineries) 🍷🍹like those of my friends 🙌 🥂 #HostariaVecioBiavarol and #DaLele, both best value in the area ! 👌
Thanks to my fantastic #WalkingTour in Santa Croce 😃😉 you can fully enjoy the area, visit amazing secret places off the beaten tracks, indulge in "ombra and cicheti" while hearing stories of the ancient city battles between Nicoloti and Castelani... Enjoy my pictures of Santa Croce in the Chat Room 👇 and of course I would love to see yours... 😃

📜👨🔬11 November 1788. Pietro Paleòcapa, an Italian scientist, engineer and later politician was born in Nese, Alzano Lombardo (BG), at the time under Venice domination. His family was of Greek origins and they decided to emigrate and live in Venice territory.
In 1840 #Paleocapa became a general manager in Venice, and oversaw the works on the rivers Brenta, Bacchiglione, Adige, Tartaro-Canalbianco-Po di Levante, the drainage of several marshy areas near #Verona and the construction of a dam in #Malamocco, Venice.
He was a patriot and believed in #Italy unification, and he played an important role in the negotiation for the 👉 annexation of Venice to the then Kingdom.
The first monument statue 📸☝️we all meet when entering Venice historical centre is dedicated to him: it was placed inside the Papadopoli Gardens, built and commissioned by the Papadopoli family in the XIX century, still today the first and largest green area🌳 we see in #SantaCroce district.
Do you remember this place?

"I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there"

I'm here all alone
When the night comes down
There's no place to go
Oh, no, you won't be there tomorrow"

There are 137 churches in Venice but if we count all religious buildings there are probably hundreds more.
Just took a picture 📸☝️of the very first church I come across every day when entering Venice.
It's Chiesa di Sant'Andrea della Zirada, built in 1300 in 👉 Santa Croce district.
