Campanile di San Marco

The Campanile di San Marco stands at the eastern edge of Piazza San Marco and rises above the surrounding roofs. The tower shows a green copper spire, a white marble belfry and a tall red brick shaft against a pale, overcast gray sky; the frame places the tower on the right with wide empty sky to the left. A gilt angel weather vane tops the spire and a handful of seagulls drift across the scene.
