THE STATE OF LEGACY ON CONDITION THAT A STATUE OF
HIM WAS ERECTED IN FRO OF ST. MARK SQUARE. LOATH

CREATED BY THE FLORENTINE ANDREA VERROCCHIO AND
ERECTED IN 1496. DO NOT MISS THE PEAR-SHAPED

SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE WORD COGLIONI*
TESTICOLES.

OPPOSITE OF BASILICA.
MERCERIE* SINCE THE MIDDLE AGES A CHAIN OF FIVE
STREETS HAS LINKED THE PIAZZA WITH THE RIALTO
BRIDGE. COLLECTIVELY NOW AS MERCERIE AFTER THE
HABERDASHERS WHO ONCE PLIED THEY TRADE HERE, THEY
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A SHOPPER*S PARADISE, DESCRIBED
BY A 17TH CENTURY ENGLISH TRAVELER AS *ONE OF THE
MOST DELICIOUS STREETS IN THE WORLD* TODAY IT IS
A BIZARRE MIX OF BIG-NAME DESIGNERS AND EMPORIA

MAKE PROGRESS ALONG HERE, BUT THE JOSTLING CROWDS
AND MELANGE OF NATIONALITIES AND LANGUAGES HAS
NOT CHANGED MUCH SINCE THE MEDIEVAL TIMES.

SIGHTS, FAMILIAR TO ALMOST EVERY TOURIST FROM

TEN MINUTES WALKING FAR FROM ARSENALE
THE ARSENALE WAS VENICE*S INDUSTRIAL POWERHOUSE,
WHERE ITS GALLEYS WERE CONSTRUCTED AND EQUIPPED
BY ONE OF THE WORLD*S FINEST PRODUCTION LINES.
SHIPBUILDING STARTED HERE IN THE 12TH CENTURY*
THE YARDS SOON BECAME KNOWN AS THE ARSENALE, FROM
THE ARABIC WORLD DAR SINA A, THE PLACE OF WORK.
ITS EFFICIENCY WAS LEGENDARY WITH OVER 16.000
WORKERS CAPABLE OF TURNING OUT A GALLEY IN A FEW
HOURS. SHIP-CONSTRUCTION CONTINUED UNTIL 1917,
BUT THE ARSENALE REMAINS NAVAL PROPERTY TROUGH
THE VAST CORDERIA *ROPE WORKS* IS USED AS AN
EXHIBITION SPACE DURING THE BIENNALE. AND MUSEO
STORICO NAVALE
THERE*S NO PLACE TO GRASP THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN VENICE AND THE SEA THAN THE MUSEUM OF
NAVAL HISTORY, A FOUR STOREY TREASURE TROVE OF
THINGS NAUTICAL. YOU*D NEED HOURS TO EXAMINE
EVERYTHING, BUT LOOK FOR THE GILDED BUCINTORO, A
MODEL OF THE DOGE*S CEREMONIAL BARGE, USED IN HIS
