Area Activities
THE FAMOUS CITY OF VENICE WITH ALL ITS TREASURES
THE DOGES PALACE
ST. MARK*S BASILICA
THE RENOWNED ST. MARK* SQUARE
ISLANDS OF MURANO, BURANO AND TORCELLO.
ST. MARK*S SQUARE
IT IS THE UNDISPUTED SYMBOL OF VENICE, THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL LIVING ROOM IN THE WORLD. THE SQUARE IS
NOT THE RESULT OF A PREARRANGED PLAN BUT THE
PRODUCT OF MANY INTERVENTIONS FOLLOWED ONE
ANOTHER BEGINNING FROM THE NINTH CENTURY, DATE OF
THE FIRST INSTALLATION. DURING THE TWELFTH
CENTURY, UNDER THE DOGEATE OF SEBASTIANO ZIANI,
THE SQUARE BEGINS TO ASSUME AN ASPECT SIMILAR
TO THE ONE WE SEE TODAY.
ST. MARK*S BASILICA
PRINCIPAL CHURCH OF THE TOWN, WAS THE PLACE WHERE
THE DOGES WERE ORDAINED *IT WAS DOGAL CHAPEL UP
TO 1807, THE YEAR WHEN IT WAS ELECTED CATHEDRAL
OF VENICE, PLACE PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY S. PIETRO
IN CASTLE*. IT WAS BUILT IN THE NINTH CENTURY IN
THE 829 BEGAN THE WORKS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION FOR
WELCOMING ST. MARK*S THE EVANGELIST MORTAL
REMAINS, STEALED THE PRECEDING YEAR FROM
ALEXANDRIA OF EGYPT, FOR HAND OF SOME VENETIAN
MERCHANTS.
THE INSIDE STRIKES FOR THE STATELY IMPRESSIVENESS
AND FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GAME OF VOLUMES CHASED
BY ARCADES AND DOMES, AND OF COLOR, THE GILDED OF
THE MOSAICS, WHILE THE FLOORS WITH GEOMETRIC
PATTERNS COMPLETE THE WHOLE. THE SPACE IS DIVIDED
IN THREE AISLES AND DECORATED COLUMNS WITH
BYZANTINE CAPITALS. ABOVE THERE ARE THE
MATRONEIS. THE CEILINGS ARE DECORATED WITH
MOSAICS ON GOLD BOTTOM THAT DATE BACK PARTLY TO
THE TWELFTH-THIRTIETH CENTURY, PARTLY TO A
FOLLOWING EPOCH AND THEY NARRATE, FOLLOWING A
PRECISE SKETCH, THE EXALTATION OF THE CHURCH OF
CHRIST, THE VENETIAN CHURCH AND ST. MARK. THE
DOMES DECORATED WITH MOSAIC CONSTITUTE THE
GREATEST BEAUTY OF THE INSIDE. THEY DATE BACK TO
THE THIRTIETH CENTURY AND THEY NARRATE THE
PREACHING OF THE APOSTLES, THE PASSION, AND
CHRIST BENEDICTORY WITH THE SAINTS. THE MOSAICS
OF THE DOME OF THE PRESBYTERY WITH IMAGES OF
CHRIST AND THE PROPHETS DATE BACK TO THE END OF
THE TWELFTH CENTURY. THE MOSAICS BETWEEN THE
WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REALIZED BEFORE THE 1105, THE
YEAR OF THE FIRE.
DOGE*S PALACE
INITIALLY BUILT AS A CASTLE IN THE NINTH CENTURY,
WAS TRANSFORMED UNDER THE DOGEATE OF SEBASTIANO
ZIANI *1172-78* AS DOGAL RESIDENCE THAT ALSO
WELCOMED THE MAJOR AND MINOR COUNCIL AND SOME
OFFICES OF THE MAGISTRACY.
DURING THE FIRST YEARS OF 1300 IT WAS ENLARGED
AND THE WORKS LASTED UNTIL THE 1463. THE
BUILDING, ORIGINALLY OF BYZANTINE STYLE,
AMALGAMATED THE GOTHIC FORMS, THAT RESPECTED THE
INITIAL CONFIGURATION OF THE BUILDING IN A SERIES
OF FULL VOLUMES TO THE SUPERIOR PLAN,
CHARACTERIZED BY A FULL WALL LITTLE WITH FEW
WINDOWS DECORATED WITH GEOMETRIC MOTIVES WITH
WHITE AND PINK STONES, AND EMPTY TO THE INFERIOR
PLAN, CHARACTERIZED BY A LONG SERIES OF COLUMNS,
EMBELLISHED BY CAPITALS *SIXTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH
CENTURIES* THAT FOR THE GREATEST PART TODAY ARE
KEPT IN THE MUSEUM OF THE WORK OF BUILDING.
BRIDGE OF THE SIGHS
AN ARCHITECTURAL WORK OF THE LATE *500, IS
COMPOSED BY TWO CORRIDORS SUPERIMPOSED THAT PUT
IN TOUCH THE PALACE OF JUSTICE AND THE ANCIENT
JAILS WITH THE CELLS THAT ARE BEYOND THE CANAL OF
THE BUILDING. IT*S TOLD THAT THE SIGHS OF THE
PRISONERS COULD BE HEARD WHEN YOU PASSED THE
BRIDGE, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT ESCAPE.
