In a short walk over two bridges, there is a campo that has shops and restaurants and is a favorite place to gather for Venentian and American university students. A block away from the Don Orione is one of the four bridges that cross the grand canal. There are two Vaporetto or waterbus stops that connect you to the rest of the city and the whole of the Venentian lagoon.
