Sant’Erasmo
-
Unflattering jokes circulate about the inhabitants of Sant’ Erasmo, with reference to in-breeding. However, no one would dare to question their ability to produce delicious asparagus and artichokes which prosper on the sandy soil and are a mainstay of Rialto Market. Just over 4 km (2.5 miles) long and 1 km (0.5 miles) at the broadest point, Sant’ Erasmo offers a tranquil countryside, praised enthusiastically by the Romans who built sumptuous villas here. A couple of rickety old motor cars occasionally bump along the lanes, but bicycles and boats are still the main form of transport.
