Located purposefully in the lapping water off the Riva dei Sette Martiri – where seven Venetian partisans were shot and killed in 1944 – lies the 1200kg bronze figure of a woman partisan. Sculpted by Augusto Murer, the figure reclines, exhausted it seems, on an arrangement of Istrian stone platforms designed by Scarpa to catch the eye as she appears and disappears beneath the rising and falling tide.
