Many of you will have read the book about Miss Garnet, I loved it & it was the inspiration for me to spend a period of time in Venice,
Here is a picture of the Church San Angelo Rafaele around which the book is based. The Church is not far from me & I can often see its two towers peeking above the other buildings.
Above the front door is a sculpture of the Angel Rafaele with Tobit, the fish and the dog. There is a series of paintings above the door on the inside that depict the story. The Church has a formidable guardian. He insists you sit and pray and then he will take you on a tour of his Church.
Miss Garnet spends time walking about Dorsudoro and I can recognise the street names and the places she talks about.
