at Santa Maria Formosa the most foul.
Othello, House of, at the Carmini. The researches of Mr.
Brown into the origin of the play of " Othello " have, I think,
determined that Shakspeare wrote on definite historical
grounds; and that Othello may be in many points identified
with Christopher Moro, the lieutenant of the republic at
Cyprus, in 1508. See "Ragguagli su Maria Sanuto," 1.
252.
His palace was standing till very lately, a Gothic building
of the fourteenth century, of which Mr. Brown possesses a
drawing. It is now destroyed, and a modern square-windowed
house built on its site. A statue, said to be a portrait of Moro,
but a most paltry work, is set in a niche in the modern wall.

otherwise of no importance.
Paternian, Church of St. Its little leaning tower forms an
interesting object as the traveller sees it from the narrow canal
which passes beneath the Porte San Paternian. The two
arched lights of the belfry appear of very early workmanship,
probably of the beginning of the thirteenth century.

impressive in effect of all the palaces of the Grotesque Renaissance. The heads upon its foundation are very characteristic
of the period, but there is more genius in them than usual.

are very clever.
