A sotoportego (a covered passage under a building) and a narrow calle in the heart of Santa Marina, a stone’s throw from the Milion. The name does not come from a little ladder: Berlan read ’Scoletta’ and thought of the little school of Santa Marina, but Tassini corrects him — in the 1713 land register the street is ’Calle del Scaletta’, and that ’del’ betrays a family surname.
