About the S. Lazzaro – S. Servolo crossing
Half a nautical mile, five minutes, 70 sailings a week between 07:30 and 17:25 — a crossing between two small islands that neither begins nor ends at the city.
Ten departures a day on one calendar, with nothing in the evening. Both islands empty out at the end of the working day, which is what the last 17:25 sailing is for.
San Lazzaro degli Armeni has housed an Armenian monastery since 1717, with a library of several thousand manuscripts; Byron came here to learn the language in 1816. San Servolo was a monastery too, then a psychiatric hospital for nearly two centuries, and is now a university campus. Two islands a few hundred metres apart, both institutions, both reached only by this boat.
