  • This quiet thoroughfare, around the corner from Ponte delle Tette, is usually referred to as the “Carampane” (Ca’ Rampani), alias the red-light district as of 1421. Venice had some 11,600 officially registered courtesans in the 1500s. A particularly narrow alley, Calle della Raffineria, site of a 1713 sugar refinery, runs off it.
