The Campo San Simeon Grande is tucked away in the sestiere or district of Santa Croce, less than 10 minutes on foot from the Santa Lucia Railroad Station and the Piazzale Roma. It's one of the few squares in Venice that face the Grand Canal.Here was located my hotel (the last building on the right, overlooking the Grand Canal)

The Campo in Venice is the wide part of the towns that in all the other parts of the world is called square. The only Squares in Venice are St. Mark's Square and Piazzale Roma.
In these widenings boys meet after school to play, very often with the ball, even if the City Police Regulations would prohibit the performance.The definition Campo, (Field) is not accidental. Indeed in ancient times in these areas were cultivated vegetables as in any other country
