Since the main focus of our project shifted towards the formal economy moreso than the informal, the informal data we have collected systematically while doing the formal field work is being displayed next year in a map for future projects. This map is broken up into the 6 sestieri, then into sections of the sestieri depending how heavy the data we found was. On each division, there is a pin for Beggars, Bag Sellers, Other Vendors (which included the cornstarch toys sellers, magicians, umbrella sellers, wallet sellers, belt sellers, etc.), and Flower Sellers. By clicking each pin, a summary stating the location (street, bridge) and the number of informal activity will appear off of GoogleEarth. There are colored polygons in those respective categories placed on the map in the proper location. This file has been uploaded to MediaFire.com and can be found at the following website to download:

May it provide help to future groups for their in depth search on how these informal activities effect the Venetian formal economy.
