A stroll through the colorful scene of the Rialto Market, where the stalls record the procession of the seasons, walking through greengrocers, vendors of cheese, freshly made pasta shops, florists, and the fish market stalls. Rialto market – once the centre of commercial and financial activity - is still a fascinating place of history, where you find many testimonies of the ancient activities.
The small church of San Giacomo, with its huge clock-face on its façade, was the place of worship for merchants who would pray for honest but profitable business. Close by, is the even smaller yet astonishing church of San Giovanni Elemosinario (John the Almsgiver), where an outstandingly fine work of art by Titian is preserved and where, on the altar of the ancient Guild of the Poulterers, a painting shows them together with their chickens worshiping the Virgin Mary.
