abc wednesday - S is for "superstitious"

This is the back of Ca' Dario, on the Grand Canal, 

immortalized most famously by Monet.  Some say this house 

is cursed, and it's true that its various owners have known

from suicide or murder.  There was a rumor that Woody Allen 

was interested in purchasing this 15th-century palazzo—

until he learned its history.  Maybe he's superstitious.
