You step off the vaporetto into alleys where the air smells faintly of salt and frying polenta; the canal pulls the city along like a slow current daring you to follow. This is Venice on foot — narrow bridges, sudden squares, and a tall, peculiar figure known in local lore as the Omo Dal Capelon, whose mystery frames the mission: find clues, decode artful riddles, and catch the character before sunset.
