The locations of the films and videos shot in the Cannaregio district in Venice (sestiere di Cannaregio) |

| This city has often, and always has, been the setting or the true protagonist of hundreds of films shot in emblematic or particularly suggestive places. Among the locations most used by directors there are certainly Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal, but also the rest of the city and its islands are a very present cinematic environment. Over one hundred films have also been shot in this district (sestiere di Cannaregio). ⇓ Open full map places ⇓ |

cichetti and ombre
In Venice, cichetti are exclusively morsels made with various ingredients that are placed on a base of bread or polenta. The name seems to derive from the Latin ciccus which means small quantity, and outside of Venice in almost all other places in Italy, a cicchetto instead means a small glass of liqueur (in English shot)!
The Venetian cichetto is made with slices of bread on which cold cuts are placed (for example soppressa or salami ham...) or creamed cod or boiled eggs, or musetto, but the cichetti are also small fried morsels, for example small "mozzarella in carrozza", breaded sardines, battered vegetables, meatballs or squid skewers or more.
Un "cicchetto" (cichetto) a Venezia è sempre associato da sempre ad un'' "ombra", ossia ad un bicchiere di vino.
