Sestiere  San Polo - Santa Croce  (10) San Zan Degola

‘On the San Zan Degola, a head of stone is said to represent a legendary bandit named Biagio. He used to mince kids and then sell their meat in his restaurant. This is a medieval story, but you can still see mud on the bas-relief, as a sign of the forever memory of Venice’. 

James Moris
