 High up on the corner of the Marzaria, where it debouches into Campo San Salvador, is an arresting artefact that takes the form of a wrought-iron dragon, which holds in its mouth a cluster of three brightly coloured glass umbrellas. The dragon originally acted as a sign for a leather goods shop, which also sold umbrellas. The shop opened its doors in the 1870s, but closed down at the end of the twentieth century.  Comments are closed.
