Calle Castelli in Castello, towards the Campo dei Miracoli: the street that keeps the name of the silk merchants made patricians Photo: GodeNehler, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0
A quiet calle in Castello, behind the Campo dei Miracoli, bearing the name of a family that was not even Venetian. The Castelli were of ancient Trevisan origin, but had transplanted themselves to Gandino, in the Bergamo valley, where they were made nobles: an honour later recognised to them also by the city of Como.
