CANNAREGIO
Cannaregio is Venice's second largest sestiere, stretching
across
the north-west of the city from the station almost to the Rialto bridge.
The name has two possible origins: it may derive from Canal Regio, i.e.
the main canal for communicating with the mainland or else it may refer
to the extensive reed beds found there in the past.
Some interesting places on sestiere:
