Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many — they are few.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English poet
Poem (1819), “The Mask of Anarchy,” st. 38

History Walks in Venice Mar 26

Scuazzero — Rubbish collector — Grevembroch 3-129

This painting depicts a rubbish collector, called a scoazzér.

Scoazze means rubbish, and the word is still in common use today in Venice.

Venice used non-biodegradable rubbish to prepare muddy areas for building, or for enlarging lagoon islands. The city had a system of scoazzere — designated areas for collecting such refuse — for this purpose.
