Palazzo dei Camerlenghi

Palazzo dei Camerlenghi is known for its peculiar exterior carved capitals, which depict unique figures such as a woman with flames between her legs and a figure with a clawed appendage. According to local folklore, these quirky sculptures were carved to mock Venetian locals who doubted that a stone Rialto Bridge could ever be constructed.

Commenters expressed great fascination with the local Venetian folklore surrounding the building. Many frequent visitors were surprised they had missed these capitals despite walking past them repeatedly, with local dialect speakers confirming the amusing legends.
