There goes another piece of Venice, Silvia Zanon, the teacher, said sadly when La Camiceria San Marco, a 60-year-old clothing store, had to move to a smaller, less prime spot because the rent had tripled. Susanna Cestari worked there for 32 years. It’s like leaving the house where you were born, she said, while packing boxes for the move. Since December 2007, at least ten hardware stores have gone out of business. In the Rialto market, souvenir sellers have replaced vendors who sold sausages, bread, or vegetables. Tourists will not notice. They do not visit Venice to buy an eggplant.
