Venice: Campanile di San Marco
We stood in front of the Campanile and as there was no line we decided to go up (they have an escalator).
From above we enjoyed great views.

Well, it wasnīt a Ferragamo inside, the bag is only very convenient. But you are correct, nearly all my suits are from Italy.

Venice: Doge's Palace
The Doge's Palace is one of the top-sights in Venice and nearly everyone will know the facade.
The entrance was crowded and the line for ticket holders not that much shorter
The courtyard
At the Doge's appartement were a Canaletto exhibition, here some impressions:
The interior is opulent
Beside the state sooms there are also other, not so comfortable Rooms on the other side of the canal. But first a view from the Bridge of Sighs.
The Prison

Venice: Santa Maria della Pietā
The church is today a museum as Vivaldi worked in the predecessor church. The actual church was build from 1745 to 1902.
The ceiling was frescoed by Tiepolo.

Venice: San Marco Museums
If you now expect something about the church San Marco or its museum you are too, early. Sorry.
At Piazza San Marco are some museums, which share one entrance. In fact you donīt sometimes not excactly know in which museum you are at the moment. It is Museo Correr, the Archaeological Museum and the monumental rooms of Biblioteca Marciana.
You start at Museo Correr.
Now obviously the biblioteca.
Next came the archaeological museum, not so sure if the weapons belonged to it.:
This hall is again part of the biblioteca:
From the windows we could see a full Piazza San Marco, it was an event of the university.

Venice: San Zaccaria
San Zaccaria is only a few steps away from Piazza San Marco and was the church of a nunnery.
The facade:
The interior:
Most important artwork is Sacra Conversazione by Bellini.
The church has aslo a small museum.
Part of the museum is this chapel:
San Zaccaria is one of the few churches in Venice which have a crypt. I visited on one of the few days when it was even accessable.
In the crypt are buried 8 doges. I couldnīt make out the tombs.
