Pope Paolo II Barbo's venetian places

The first post of mine is a photographic report about pope Paolo II Barbo's venetian places.

Not far away from Piazza San Marco, between the Chiesa della Pietà and Campo della Bragora, in Castello sestiere (one of the six Venetian district),

on the front of a house there is a commemorative marble tablet, 

remembering that here, once, there were the homes owned by the Barbo's family, 

pope Paolo II (1464 - 1471) 
the well-know antique coin and engraved gem collector, belonged to!

Paul II portrait, oval cast bronze medal
by Cristoforo di Geremia (active in Rome c. 1456 - 1476)

Since few days ago, when I saw this tablet for the first time, 

I have been very excited to discover I live not only near the Conservatorio della Pietà, 

where Vivaldi taught music to the young orphans girls, there accomodated, 

but also near the place where Paolo II was born!


Thus my thought couldn't not go to Hadrien R., whom this post is friendly dedicated.

The tablet says

QUI ERANO LE CASE OVE NACQUE NEL 1417
PIETRO BARBO PATRIZIO VENETO
DAL 1464 AL 1471 SOMMO PONTEFICE
CON IL NOME GLORIOSO DI
PAOLO II
"PACIS ITALICAE FUNDATOR"

IN THIS PLACE THERE WERE THE HOUSES
WHERE PIETRO BARBO VENETIAN PATRICIAN WAS BORN IN 1417,
POPE FROM 1464 TO 1471
WITH THE GLORIOUS NAME OF
PAOLO II
"PACIS ITALICAE FUNDATOR"

(THIS TABLET WAS AFFIXED BY)
AZIENDA AUTONOMA SOGGIORNO E TURISMO
IN THE 5TH CENTENARY OF HIS DEATH (1971)

GOING ON THE CALLE (THE VENETIAN NAME FOR THE WAYS)

THERE IS THE COVERED ENTRANCE, IN VENETIAN SOTOPORTEGO DEL PAPA,

ENTERING IN...

... THE CORTE DEL PAPA ("THE POPE'S COURT")

ON THE BASIS OF THIS ARCH,

THERE ARE TWO ROMANESQUE PULVINOS,

EACH WITH A LION AND A WINGED GRYPHUS

THIS LAST PICTURE IS TAKEN BY THE PORTA DA MAR

(IN VENETIAN MEANING "THE DOOR ON THE SEA")

YOU CAN SEE BY THE SECOND PICTURE

RETURNING INTO THE CALLE, ONLY A FEW STEPS OFF,
THERE IS THE CHURCH OF SAN GIOVANNI DELLA BRAGORA,
WHERE PAOLO II WAS BAPTIZED UNDER THE NAME OF PIETRO

ON THE SAME CAMPO DELLA BRAGORA THERE IS THE STUNNING  PALAZZO GRITTI MOROSINI BADOER:
DATING AT LEAST AT THE LATE 14TH CENTURY,
POPE PAOLO HAS SURELY SEEN IT WHEN HE LIVED IN VENICE!
