About the S. Marco Vallaresso A – Accademia B crossing
Eight departures a day and 56 sailings a week, spread from 00:01 to 23:41 — this four-minute hop across the mouth of the Grand Canal runs at both ends of the night.
Four-tenths of a nautical mile on a single calendar. The times are the giveaway: a service with a departure one minute after midnight and another nineteen minutes before it is covering the hours when the rest of the network has thinned out.
Vallaresso is the pontoon by the Giardinetti Reali below Piazza San Marco; Accademia is at the foot of the wooden bridge on the Dorsoduro side. Walking between them means going round by the Accademia bridge — ten minutes in daylight, and a good deal less appealing at one in the morning.
