Venice: Two Things I Missed

Oh, I'm sure there's tons (if not pounds). But one thing we really wanted to see rarely (the ticket man claimed "never") is on display: Leonardo's Vitruvian Man. Another thing, which I only discovered rereading Brodsky's Watermark, was Bellini's Madonna with Child in Madonna dell' Orto. Turns out I couldn't have seen it anyway: According to Wikipedia, it was stolen in 1993.
