The continuation of the Rio Terrà Primo between San Giacomo dall’Orio and Sant’Agostin, this broad, quiet street occupies the bed of the rio del Calice — the final stretch of the rio de la Pergola, which opened into the rio del Parucheta under a bridge of the same name of which no trace remains — filled in in 1806, in the Napoleonic season when Venice ’modernised’ itself by covering over the minor canals.
