INTRODUCTION
Sestiere of Cannaregio, it leave western north of Venice, extends from the Canal Grande until the Lagoon. Sestiere is divided historically in two parts. One more ancient that shows oneself on the Canal Grande with its palaces, and the other of construction more recent (' 600-' 700) and above all more popular. It is a part of city still today densely popolata. For many Cannaregio tourists it is known essentially for the longest "Strada Nuova" that they cover in order to o from the Station to Rialto - Saint Mark. The route proposes an alternative distance that suggests, beyond to the visit of the main churches, to the walk between calluses and deeply, some points in order to observe the lagoon from indeed spectacular panoramic ends.

CAMPO SAN GEREMIA E PALAZZO LABIA
Getting started from Stazione ferroviaria di Santa Lucia.
Localizzation: stop ACTV line 1, 82, 41-42, 51-52, 71-72, 3, 4 
To feed the List of Spain until arriving in campo San Geremia. Moving itself towards the center of the field, just of forehead the imposing can be admired PALACE LABIA constructed between the end of the XVII and the beginning of XVIII the century. The family Labia, rich Catalan merchants, spold huge resources in the furnishing of the Palace, hiring the best artists of the age, between which GB. Tiepolo. Its is in fact the great cycle dedicated to history of Cleopatra in the hall from dance (Triumph of Apollo on the ceiling and on the wall we can admire the encounter of Antonio and Cleopatra and the Banquet of Cleopatra). Currently a part of the palace is center of RAI but the cycle of the Tiepolo is visitabile on reservation.

IL PONTE DELLE GUGLIE E IL GHETTO
Left the Campo San Geremia we advance for calmer zones and more characteristics than Venice. The first bridge that is met is the Ponte delle GUGLIE, constructed in the 1580 to substitution of one structure in wood. 
The name derives from the four obelischi places on the balustrades mails in 1823 with the last restoration. Before beginning the visit of the Ghetto a glance to the Ponte dei 3 Archi that it is met continuing for the Foundations of Cannaregio. Other bridge much particular one that it takes name from its structure to arches, work of Andrea Pulls them (1688) and restored in 1794. 
Returning on our steps and feeding the Calle of the old Ghetto it is approached the veneziano GHETTO, where they give a 1516 (second law of the Senate of the Republic) to 1797 came established the coatta residence of the Hebrew, small insula, encircled from a ring of water and sluice from high buildings. The impossibility of the Jewish community to expand itself in the city woven one (from 1516 to the fall of the Most serene this has been place of coatta residence for the Hebrew) and some norms tied to their tradition render the these buildings highest of the city. 
The Museum shows you Hebrew that collects interesting examples of the veneziana Jewish art of the sec. Xvii-xix. In compact woven the building one of the Ghetto, small cupolas signal the presence of sinagoghe, said also Schools, for with of acquitted functions. Fastosa it is the Levantina School in the Old Ghetto, founded in 1538 and renewed in the ' 600 perhaps on plan of Baldassarre Longhena. The particularitity of the place is determined from the buildings many high more plans for being able to receive the greater number of persons.
A glance to the Museum Hebrew is of obligation seen the importance that this community has had for Venice.

SANT'ALVISE E LA CHIESA DELLA MADONNA DELL'ORTO
Following the indications we begin the visit of the zone north of Venice. 
In this zone, penetrating itself without fear in the calluses, it is possible to catch up some points in order to observe the lagoon. As an example from the Campo Sant' Alvise following the indications for the imbarcadero of the ACTV are arrived in spiazzo a much wide one that shows oneself on the lagoon. 
Returning towards Campo Sant' Alvise we suggest to visit the CHURCH OF SANT' ALVISE of trecentesca origin. It looks on to in a hermit I live-sagrato; rimaneggiato in the ' 600) painted of G. B. Tiepolo guards to the inside  between which one pregevole Climb to Calvary (1743) to the skillful wall of the presbiterio. The navata conserve of the original structure one of the first examples of barco (hanging chorus of the monache), supported from columns, that it communicated directly with the adjacent convent. 
Alvise is the veneziana shape of the Luigi name, bishop of Tolosa to which the church it is dedicated. In some minute the beautifulst CHURCH Of the MADONNA Of the GARDEN is caught up also. Erected in the course of the sec. XV, originally dedicated to Saint Cristoforo (the title they puts into effect it laughed them to the 1300's when, second the tradition, was recovered a statue of the Vergine with the child in a garden of the zone), shows oneself on a small one lives-sagrato of evocative beauty. In the cooked facade in with Romanesque elements, gotici and rinascimentali, adorned of statues, a gotico-rinascimentale portale is opened; the quattrocentesco bell tower finishes with cupolino to bulb added from Bartolomeo Bon in 1503. 
The inside, to three navate, guards painted of Jacopo Tintoretto, buried in 1594, in the nail head to right of the presbiterio: in the skillful navata one, Presentation of Maria to tempio (1552); in 4ª the nail head on the left, S. risuscita Agnese Licinio (1579 c.); great burlaps in the presbiterio (universal Judgment and Adoration of the gold year-old calf, 1546 c.). The artist lived to little distance from here, beyond the channel, along Foundations of the Moors. Moreover to the inside there are: to 1º the skillful altar, S. Giovanni Batiste of Top from Conegliano (1493 c.); in the rinascimentale Valier nail head, the 1ª of the left navata one, Madonna with the Child of Giovanni Bellini (trafugata in 1993). Continuing for the Foundations of the Abbey, to the height of the bridge you show oneself to the parapet for an other lagoon end.

LA CHIESA DELLA MISERICORDIA
In one of the more characteristic and silent fields Venice, Field of the Abbey, we find the Church of the Abbey of the Misericordia with to flank the Old School of the Misericordia. The church, with the contiguous abbey, was founded in the sec. X (called also Saint Maria di Green Val), it was then reconstructed in the sec. XIII and more times restructured. In angle with the baroque facade (rifared in 1651-59), on the field that conserve still the original cooked paving in, grafts the quattrocentesco prospect of the Old School of S. Maria of the Misericordia, erected in 1310 and more times widened. The two angels on the architrave of the portale are the only rest of a relief of Bartolomeo Bon today conserved to the Victoria and Albert Museum of London. Between the vicissitudini of the School divenne property of a painter, Italico Brass, than restored it and it chose it as important center art reviews Little distant is the New School of S. Maria of the Misericordia, constructed on design of Jacopo Sansovino between 1534 and 1583, but remained incompiuta. This last one is a wide building, constructed in order to satisfy the crescent number of adhesions to the confraternita one in XVI the century. For many years center of the communal Archives and one sport Society.

LA STRADA NUOVA E LA CHIESA DEI SS. APOSTOLI
After to have covered the Felice foundations Saint we shortly cover the New Road for a visit to the CA' Of GOLD, the maximum expression, with to Ducale Palace, of the gotico bloomed to Venice. Constructed on a commission basis of the Contarini family, it was constructed in gotiche shapes from Bartolomeo and Giovanni Bon and Matteo Raverti (1422-40). The palace derives the name from the gildings that adorned the facade on the Large Canal; this, covered of marbles policromi, introduces a porch land on columns, two airplane logge to arches interlaces to you, graceful balconies and a most original merlatura. E' a singular and evocative example of inspiration orients them typical of the veneziana gotica architecture of the ' 400; the famous one from the ideazione of architectonic reasons, from the lusso of marbles, the splendid policromie and gildings, hour vanished. Probable E' that in the original idea, referring itself to the traditional type of veneziano palace, the construction had had to introduce itself composed of the body centers placed side by side them from two smaller wings. Instead we find only the wing skillful, perhaps for space lack. After several vicissitudini and restorations the palace divenne property of the Franchetti family. In 1916 the palace was donated, together to the own collection of art, the Italian state and divenne the first bottom of the Gallery George Franchetti. The Ca' D' Oro came transformed in museum in 1927: the collection, beyond to furnishings, tapestries and coins counts some works of relief of Tiziano, Carpaccio, Mantegna, Giorgione, Top and others.

LA CHIESA DEI GESUTI E LE FONDAMENTE NUOVE
We behind return towards Field SS. Apostles in order to finish our Route. Leaving us the shoulders field SS. Apostles, to feed the calle wide called Salizzata of the Pistor and scrupulously to follow the distance suggested until that it will not be opened, in front of you, a wide field, the Field of the Jesuits. It crosses it all in direction lagoon to you. Before the church, on your right you will notice the Oratory of the Crociferi. It probably was founded towards the half of XII the century, from a small group of friars of the Order of the coming from Crociferi from Rome, that it carried out to Venice highly useful a social function in the field of the attendance to the sick ones and the hospitality to the pilgrims. In cinquecentesca age a series of restructures culminated in the decoration of the entrusted oratory to Jacopo Palm the Young person that realized it between 1583 and 1592. In the eight teleri that occupy all the walls the vicissitudes tied to the history of the Hospital and the Order are represented with strong realism and some moments of the Christian tradition, liturgici moments to which costoro they were particularly devout people. 
Some meter more in we meet the baroccheggiante CHURCH Of the JESUITS here. Originally called church of the Crociferi it came reconstructed between 1715 and the 1730 from the Jesuits (the religious order that subentrò to the Crociferi), with one elaborated baroque facade on models roman. The church, dedicated to S. Assumed Maria, has one sfarzoso inside decorated with marble inlays and putties white men and gold. To the first left altar, Martyrdom of S. Lorenzo, signed work of Tiziano (1558); to the altar of the transetto left, Assumed, juvenile work of Jacopo Tintoretto. The route is concluded DEEPLY to the NEW ones where us it will be able to be rested enjoying the northern lagoon, the islands of Saint Michele and Murano.
