You are probably thinking of the very definitely maritime-oriented Italian Folk song Santa Lucia. Santa Lucia ( which means St. Lucy, of course) is the name of the area around the main transit terminal of-Venice. This is like the commercial hub of the town- like Journal Square in Jersey City- so it is only logical the song would be associated with Venice. I happen to like the engineers" parody- down in the Engine Room, Harsh Vapors blind us, as out V-l2"s unload, Live steam denied us! The original song speaks of the Rose of Fair Italy, which could be the Saint- or, in modern terms- a well-known Italian Movie Actress.
