Island Hopping in Venice
... had has going around the main section and glimpsing the north coast, it ended up being an unnecessary hour of travel, so if you can figure out for F de Nuove is, you'll save quite a bit of time.

We had an audio tour (surprise!) so we followed along. Everyone was pretty impressed when we entered the nave. “Assumption of Mary” over the alter and Titian's tomb were the highlights. Bellini’s “Madonna and Child” ...
