Via Garibaldi and Giardini
-
A pleasant avenue now lined with cafés and a market, Via Garibaldi was triumphantly named when the eponymous general marched into Venice in 1866 as part of his round-Italy campaign for Unification. Take a stroll to the Giardini (public gardens). To make way for the park in 1807, architect Selva (see Giannantonio Selva) demolished four churches and convents and a sailors’ hospice.
