Have you ever noticed that Venice doesn't really have street signs?
Instead, you'll find something very Venetian:
nizioleti.
Literally meaning “little sheets”, nizioleti are the white signs painted directly onto the walls of buildings.
They tell you the name of a calle, a campo, a fondamenta or a sottoportego.
But they are more than directions.
They are part of Venice's visual identity — a way of navigating the city that has been preserved for generations.
So next time Google Maps tells you where to go...
look at the walls too.
Venice might already be telling you.
