"Entre la calle Valmarana and the Rio dei Santi Apostoli, the walls of the garden Ca'Morisini contain a long history. From the outside, it is impossible to see this vast green space with the exception of a few branches that protrude from the side of the canal. It consists of a garden full of fruit trees and a beautiful botanical garden with fragrant flowers, in all its glory in spring bloom when its two arbors [...]. The beds are organized into two sections by a geometrical diagram. "(P.191 Venice unusual and secret T. Juggle)

Former coping well?
First, its location: it is bordered by the Rio SS. Apostoli, Calle del Traghetto, Valmarana calle, calle della Posta Calle Sant'Antonio and at the end of what we can see two old doors walled up. The garden is behind a nursing home for elderly women, led by a community of Dominican sisters. The garden was built on the space left vacant after the destruction of the palace Morosini in 19th century, about a future post ... stay tuned!
