They are located in the Dorsoduro district at the foot of the Accademia bridge, in what until the early nineteenth century was the vast complex formed by the church of Santa Maria della Carità, the convent of the Lateran Canons and the Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Charity (the entrance is for the portal of the latter). They take their name from the Academy of Fine Arts, which opened them in 1817 and shared their headquarters until 2004. Once we have visited the mine we will head south to reach our second stop, which is the top of Mount Punta Tintillu , the maximum altitude that we will reach is 664 m, after a short break we will move on a completely downhill path that leads us to the Barracca Sassa refuge where we will spend the night.
