Hi Cat--The photograph posted looks like the San Polo 622 address I visited 10 years ago...hope you were able to hold on to it or find a flat with similar views. Glad to hear the Venice FC is being rebuilt by a got-bucks (and got-vision) American. Best wishes and a Happy Christmas to you. We won't be in Venice this winter...Morocco gets the nod. Our Venetian gumboots are always at the ready. Robert
ReplyDeleteHi, Robert- That's an old photo. Unfortunately, the apartment at San Polo 622 is now a tourist rental like far too many apartments in Venice. After battling for 10 years, I won a bunch of lawsuits, but even though the landlords had to pay me after the illegal eviction, they stole nearly every one of my possessions of worth -- my desk is still inside! Happy holidays and let me know the next time you come to town.
