San Moise
A deep blue dusk smudges the the facades of the locked shops surrounding the
stone campo. To the west a small crumbling bridge with iron railings arches
across the Rio San Moise. Numerous gondolas are moored there, floating as
much in evening mist as water. The 14th century belltower intrigues the eye,
topped with a spire of brick. But dominating the campo is the church of San
Moise. Having passed through several incarnations, it at last expired,
petrifying in the bloated form a Baroque nightmare. The looming edifice
resembles a mostrous wedding cake, elaborately frosted with melting icing in
rippled columns and sagging festoons. Ornately embellished, the walls and
roof are further bedecked with posturing statuary thickly coated with with
pigeon droppings. The heavy statues seem to teeter precariously on their
pedastals.
