Are you curious?
What we are really anxious to tell you is that even apparently innocuous and talented characters, like the good Vivaldi, actually have skeletons in the closet!
The same can be said of the sculptor Cesco Pizzigani, who created grand facades in St. Mark Square. The geniuses of art and music have always some hidden secrets and in learning about this you will see another side to venice and its inhabitants.
Among Venice’s dark tales is that of Biasio, the butcher. Unlike other Canal Grande ferry stops named for landmarks, Riva de Biasio bears his name.
During the Serenissima Republic, his shop, renowned for sausages, hid a horrifying secret. When human remains were found in his products, Biasio confessed to murdering children. He was brutally executed in St. Mark’s Square, and his shop destroyed. Yet, his name persists, a chilling reminder at the Riva de Biasio ferry stop.
