Corto Maltese

The route's giant: Hugo Pratt's wandering sailor wraps around a canal-side building by the barge quays, some 850 square meters painted in August and September 2009. This face lines up panels like a huge comic page, with Corto in his cap and pea coat, rocky coasts, tall ships and seabirds. The other faces carry more scenes, so walk around the building, and the waterside setting suits a sailor's story.
