In Venice a street called Calle is pronounced Caye.

A street starting Ruma is a dead end or blind alley.

A street starting Rio used to be a canal but if you can walk down it, it got filled in after the railways arrived in Venice. This was done for those who arrived but did not own boats.

And did you know that the cocktail Bellini was invented here in Harry’s Bar. We did not visit Harry’s but we did enjoy a few Bellinis.

Bellisimo!!!
