Fodor's Expert Review San Giacomo dall'Orio
This lovely square was named after a laurel tree (orio), and today trees lend it shade and character. Add benches and a fountain (with a drinking bowl for dogs), and the pleasant, oddly shaped campo becomes a welcoming place for friendly conversation and neighborhood kids at play. The church of San Giacomo dall'Orio was founded in the 9th century on an island still populated (the legend goes) by wolves. The current church dates from 1225.
