Listolina

Listolina at Fondamenta Nuove

Listolina are large Istria Stones that can be seen lining the canals along all Fondamenta as well as along the top of Bridge Walls. Listolina are the final layer and serve as an integral part of the Canal Wall. The Listolina are joined to the pavement on one side and overhang the Canal on the other. Many Listolina also serve as the base for Colonnine, columns and handrails that prevent people from falling into the canals.
