About the S. Giorgio A RICHIESTA – Zitelle B crossing
Two-tenths of a nautical mile, three minutes, and nine departures a day scattered from 00:13 to 23:53 — 63 sailings a week on request, right through the night.
Three minutes is barely a crossing; the two pontoons are in sight of one another across the Giudecca canal's eastern end. What the timetable provides is not distance but certainty at hours when nothing else moves.
San Giorgio Maggiore carries Palladio's church of 1610 and the Cini Foundation in the former Benedictine monastery beside it; the Zitelle, on the Giudecca opposite, is another Palladian church, built as part of a hospice for young women without dowries. The boat crosses between two sixteenth-century institutions that were designed to be seen from each other.
