Calle del Tintor

The wellhead of Campo San Stae, where the calle starts: water was the dyers’ raw material as much as the colourants

A continuation of the Salizada di San Stae, this calle runs from Campo San Stae to the Ponte del Parruchetta - exactly on the border between Santa Croce and San Polo. The name is a trade: the tintor, the dyer, whose workshop stood here and lived off water and colour.
