Ludovica Galeazzo’s exemplary monograph on a specific peripheral neighbourhood of Venice studies the intersection between time and space - or between history and geography -from the 15th to the 18th century. Yet the edges of Venice were not always so marginal: visitors from the terraferma arrived by boat from the north important doges such as Andrea Gritti and Leonardo Donà chose peripheral sites for their palaces and the views towards the mountains were cherished by Titian from his house in the Biri grande. As Castelnuovo and Ginsburg highlighted four decades ago, peripheral zones are often regarded as refuges for unsuccessful artists or as the repository of old-fashioned works of art ( Castelnuovo and Ginzburg 1979: 285–352). In historical studies, however, they have been often classified as the periferia, in contrast to the more dynamic urban centres of Piazza San Marco and the Rialto market. Today, the margins of Venice preserve the precious remnants of the daily life of the ever-shrinking number of inhabitants.
