The Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola.One end of the canal leads into the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin; in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts (sestieri) of Venice

It is said that the Palazzo Grassi,

now the headquarters of the

Foundation of billionaire and

contemporary art collector Francois Pinault, is haunted by the ghost of a young girl who allegedly threw herself (or was

thrown) from one of balconies of the courtyard of the

palace after suffering violence.The custodians of the palace have

repeatedly said they have heard

someone call them by name, as if the person were just standing nearby

whispering in their ear…
