"It was a great Piazza as I thought, anchored, like all the rest, in the deep ocean. On its broad bosom, was a palace, more majestic and magnificent in its old age, than all the buildings of the earth...and...a cathedral, gorgeous in the wild luxuriant fancies of the East."
                   Charles Dickens
Wow. I found this quote from Dickens on Basilica San Marco and Mark Twain thought it was a "warty bug on a meditative walk." Lots of opinions on the architecture of this place. The Piazza seems to be a favorite for artists. I'm looking forward to the day when I can pull out pen and paper and get reacquainted with this grand beauty, but in person listening to music from the cafes, chatter from tourists and dodging the pigeons.
