An Italian Alternative to Google Street View - Great for Venice, Italy

I use the Street View function in Google Maps a great deal to help me identify photos I've taken on trips, as well as to sort out other details of those trips. I was disappointed recently when I discovered that Google Maps does not have street view or canal view capabilities for Venice, Italy. Happily, I stumbled upon an Italian web site that has those capabilities for Venice, as well as for locations throughout Italy. The URL for Venice is: http://www.tuttocitta.it/mappa/venezia

The main URL for this service is  http://www.tuttocitta.it/, which starts at Rome.

I also find street views very help for planning navigation through complex intersections or on complicated routes in foreign cities. A good example is the figure-eight roundabout near the Siena Ovest exit below the hilltop town of Siena, Italy.
