Sign of “La Caravella” restaurant
Via XXII Marzo, San Marco
Venice, September 2012

“A caravel was a light, fast ship in the days of sail. In its Italian version, La Caravella is the dining room of the Hotel Saturnia in Venice. And a handsome room it is, even for this landlubber, with its ship’s wheel, ropes, hooks, lamps, chains and abundance of dark wood. It is also an excellent restaurant.” (Restaurant La Caravella, Venice, Bown's Best)

So strange - the finely-detailed ship and the beaten old window frame. What a great find.
