Riva dei Sette Martiri phoo

November 1: San Marco

The Casanova was moored along the Riva dei Sette Martiri, just below the public gardens and the Biennale grounds, the next day. I'd heard the acqua alta warning sirens just after 8 a.m., but the Riva degli Schiavoni was free of water when my son and I walked toward the Piazza San Marco in mid-morning.
