about cannaregio

A large district to the north of the city, including the area northeast of the Rialto bridge, extending all the way to the Venezia Santa Lucia railway station which connected Venice to the mainland in 1861. The district was traditionally home to textile production and handicraft industries, housing many trade guilds in these disciplines.
