La Piscina is attached to La Calcina, the pensione where John Ruskin, the art critic and author of "Stones of Venice," lived in the 1870s: Its interior walls are lighted with the requisite Murano sconces, tangled bouquets of glass adorned with bare bulbs.

 Dorsoduro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dorsoduro is one of the six sestieri of Venice.
By the eleventh century, settlement had spread across to the Grand Canal, while later religious buildings including the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute and the Zattere quay are now its main landmarks.
In the nineteenth century, the Accademia was set up in Dorsoduro, and the Ponte dell'Accademia linked it to San Marco, making it an expensive area popular with foreign residents, with its western end and the Giudecca becoming industrialised.

The sestiere of Dorsoduro covers Venice’s southern flanc, including the island of Giudecca.
The name of this island has a particular history: as it was the island where were isolated the prisoners, the name derives from Dante’s Divine Comedy in which the Giudecca is the last circle of Hell where there are the benefactor’s betrayer.
The name Dorsoduro means "hard back" and refears to the quality of the soil.

 Travel: The clues to Venice
I have now walked from the side of the Grand Canal, which separates Dorsoduro from the San Marco sestiere (named for St. Mark's Square) through the neighborhood to the broad Giudecca Canal.
The Dorsoduro is easily revealing its secrets, until I get to a site that had been one of the infamous "mouth of the lion" decorations.

 Dorsoduro, Italy. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
During the day at least, it's the paintings of Dorsoduro's art galleries and religious institutions that draw most visitors across the Ponte dell' Accademia.
As with San Polo, the area designated by the section title is slightly more extensive than the sestiere of the same name, since in order to simplify the scheme of the city it incorporates a portion of the Santa Croce sestiere – for the visitor, the most arbitrary and confusing of Venice's divisions.
For our purposes Dorsoduro stretches from the Punta della Dogana and the Salute west to the docks of the Stazione Maríttima, and north to Piazzale Roma (which is technically in Santa Croce).

 dorsoduro
Dorsoduro, located on the East Bank of the Canal Grande, is situated on the largest area of firm land in Venice.  Within the district are several important, cultural sites, like the Santa Maria della Salute, the
Ponte dell’Academia (highlighted in purple on the map), and several museums housed in old palaces.  More modern endeavors include the Záttere waterfront and a prison.
The dominant church in Dorsoduro is the Santa Maria della Salute. More than 100,000 wooden piles have supported this impressive building since 1681.  This dramatic structure is a symbol of the Venice’s deliverance from the devastating plague of 1630-1631.  (Salute actually means “health” and “salvation.”)
