The color pairing is not accidental — the terracotta intonaco and the teal of the persiane have been neighbors on Venetian walls for centuries, a combination arrived at not by design but by accumulation, each generation repainting what was already there in approximately the same tones. Here the left shutter swings out at a sharp angle, its face bleached and worn to a softer green than its companion, the two panels no longer quite matching after decades of separate exposure to the lagoon air. Between them, a small wooden balustrade in rust-orange catches a sliver of light before the interior closes to black. The shadow the shutters cast is almost as large as the shutters themselves — a second, darker window drawn directly onto the wall.
