Behind the church of Santa Maria del Giglio opens a tiny campiello, one of those secret shelters that Venice gives to those who leave the beaten paths. It is closed off by a red late-fifteenth-century palace, and the name of both comes not from architecture but from an inn: for centuries the city of Feltre, a subject of the Serenissima, rented a house here to lodge its nuncios, its ambassadors and the notable people passing through Venice.
