The north aisle has pointed arches at intervals and a flat roof; the nave of the Santissimo also has a flat roof with beams and brackets. There is a triumphal arch and one blocked window in the apse, with mosaic on the splay of the jamb. The mosaic in the semi-dome is probably an eleventh-century restoration of an older work, itself very carefully restored in 1863.
In the evening my brother and I went to the 'scopatore santissimo', who was expecting me, and had announced me to his family as a prodigy of a man. I introduced my brother, and proceeded to a close scrutiny of the family. I saw an elderly woman, four girls, of whom the eldest was twenty-four, two small boys, and above all universal ugliness.

Nothing of importance a palace with red and gold posts and an antiquity store before the next rio, the beautiful Rio del Santissimo o di Stefano; nor after this, until the calle and traghetto: merely two neglected houses, one with a fondamenta. And then a pension arises, next to which is one of the most coveted abodes in the whole canal the little alluring house and garden that belong to Prince Hohenlohe.

I went to Momolo's in the evening, and found the intended husband of my fair Mariuccia there, but not the lady herself.
