No lamb grazes around here: the name comes from the Dalla Agnella family, fodder merchants who arrived from the Treviso area, who here at Santa Maria Mater Domini had their palace overlooking the rio delle Due Torri. The calle, the side branch and the stone and brick bridge, with iron bands in ovals and volutes, restored in 2004, all bear their name.
