PIAZZA SAN MARCO
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PIAZZAS IN THE
WORLD.
ITS HISTORY BEGAN IN THE NINTH CENTURY, AT WHICH
TIME IT WAS CHOSEN AS SEAT OF THE VENETIAN
GOVERNMENT AND THE DOGES* PALACE AND BASILICA OF
SAN MARCO WERE BUILT.
BASILICA OF SAN MARCO
BUILT IN THE ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH CENTURIES, THE
BASILICA WITH ITS FIVE IMPOSING ORIENTAL-STYLE
DOMES AND GILDED ORIENTAL MOSAICS DOMINATES THE
PIAZZA, A MASTERPIECE OF ROMANESQUE-BYZANTINE
ARCHITECTURE.
IT WAS DESIGNED ACCORDING TO THE WISHES OF THE
DOGE GIUSTINIANI PARTECIPAZIO, WHO WANTED TO
BUILD A STRUCTURE WORTHY OF RECEIVING THE BODY OF
THE MARK THE EVANGELIST, PATRON OF THE CITY,
WHOSE REMAINS WERE CARRIED TO VENICE FROM
ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT, IN THE YEAR 828.
BASILICA OF SAINTS GIOVANNI AND PAOLO
THIS IS THE LARGEST VENETIAN GOTHIC CHURCH. IT
FACES THE FIELD OF SS. GIOVANNI E PAOLO AND
PRESERVES WITHIN THE BURIAL MONUMENTS OF DOGES
AND OTHER IMPORTANT CITIZENS.
THE CANAL GRANDE
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEANS OF COMMUNICATION
IN THE CITY.
ALMOST FOUR HUNDRED METERS LONG, THIRTY TO
SEVENTY METERS WIDE, IT DIVIDES THE HISTORIC
CENTER INTO TWO PARTS AND IS TRAVERSED VIA
VAPORETTI AND TRADITIONAL GONDOLAS.
ALONG ITS BANKS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VENETIAN
PALACES FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO THE EIGHTEENTH
CENTURY HAVE BEEN BUILT.
DEPARTING FROM THE SAN MARCO BRIDGE, WE CAN
ADMIRE IN SUCCESSION THE GOTHIC CA* GIUSTINIAN,
THE BAROQUE CHURCH OF S. MARIA DELLA SALUTE,
ST. MARKS BASIN, SALUTE CHURCH, GIUDECCA ISLAND,
AND OTHER VENICE LANDMARKS.
MURANO, THE GLASS ISLAND
IN 1296, THE GLASSBLOWERS OF VENICE MOVED TO AN
ISLAND CALLED MURANO.
SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS LATER, THEIR DESCENDANTS ARE
STILL TURNING SAND INTO GOLD.
