Piazza San Marco, Day or Night, the Place to Be by deecat
As I stood in the middle of Piazza San Marco, I tried to imagine the millions of people who had stood in this very spot and felt the awe of such beauty. This piazza has witnessed so much...Carnival festivities, political strikes, elaborate pageants, religious processions, and ordinary citizens standing right here!I just seemed to block out any mass of people or any swarm of pigeons; instead, I focused on the beautiful orchestras that were playing, the beautiful architecture of the Basilica San Marco, Doge's Palace, Campanile, and the Columns of San Marco and San Teodoro. In that one moment, the grandeur that was Venice was alive!My fondest memory of Venice took place here in Piazza San Marco when my husband of 40 years asked me to dance to the orchestra music...it was magic.
