Campiello
A campiello (plural: campielli) is a small public open space in Venice, literally named "little campo". They occupying a position in the hierarchy of Venetian spaces between the larger campo and the enclosed corte. The term is a diminutive of campo, and describes a space that shares the general character and function of a campo but on a smaller and more intimate scale. Like the campo, the campiello generally has more than one point of access, meaning pedestrians can pass through it from multiple directions, distinguishing it from the single-entry corte.
Physical Characteristics
Campielli are typically smaller than campi and are surrounded on most sides by residential buildings, giving them an enclosed but accessible character. Like the campo, campielli often had a well at their center, which historically served as the freshwater source for the households that opened onto the space. Together, corti and campielli make up the hidden fabric of Venice, part of a dense grid of paths that open periodically into these smaller spaces away from the main pedestrian routes.
Historical Function
Relation to other spaces.
There are 153 campielli in Venice.
