« Sunday Salads #1: Eden's Blood Orange Salad | Main | IL Capitello »
Some of the shrines in Venice are very elegant while others are more homespun. This Castello shrine is kind of a mix - there's an intriquing old relief of the Mother and Child inside but the tabernacle and its dusty silk flowers are more charming and folksy than elegant.

Hi Annie,
here is a link on this shrine from VeneziaMuseo:

I think they talk about almost all the shrines of Venice.
Take care,

What an interesting shrine, Annie -- as you say, a real mix of styles! I do love the relief, and the blue colouring at the top of the shrine.

Hi Annie, that's a really nice looking shrine. The flowers look almost real. I am enjoying reading about and looking at your photos of these beautiful shrines. It seems that each one seems so unique and different. I really hope to see some of them next time I am there.
Thanks for this wonderful post Annie. Have a great evening.

Love this sweet shrine with the white picket gate! It seems that this one might have been placed at a lower level than most wall shrines, and with free access to anyone.
