I heard the lumbering of these tourist carts this morning in the street below our apartment. The proprietors seemed to be going in and out of their apartment to refit the cart for the day.
This orange-coated man is part of the tourist cart team.
We
walked behind this man for awhile as we headed to St. Mark's Basilica.
Then I found him cleaning the water off his boat and folding up the
cover.
A paper shop opposite the man with his boat.
St. Mark's was closed for a special event, so we headed for the nearby Correr Museum.

At the Accademia: Portrait of a Gentleman by Lorenzo Lotto. It may have been a self-portrait. The artist was known for his psychological insight.
Antonio Canova was one of the best sculptors of the era.
