Dante Alighieri
He was born in Florence in 1256. He fell in love on first sight of Beatrice Portinari at age 9. He saw her twice more, at ages 18 and 25. He was the foremost poet of his day, and wrote the Divine Comedy as a metaphor of his own spiritual journey. Also a Florentine politician, Alighieri found himself in exile when the opposing Ghibelline faction overthrew the Guelf's. He died in Venice, in 1321. Leave a Comment

Piazza dei Signori is the place where all this goodness comes together. I could have stayed here for hours, looking at families strolling, dogs running happily, dreamers sitting at the foot of Dante's statue. I love that statue, it's very different from the usual muscly god I see everywhere else. Dante reminded me of the more classical statues we see in Paris, almost surrealist.
To the left is the Captain's Palace, 16th century. Attached to the Palace is Porta San Michele, the arched gateway. Leave a Comment

 Palazzo del Governo & the
winged lion of Venezia by globetrott
The arcades next to it are also worth to have a closer look, as you may see great vaults and arcades there.
The Republic of Venezia was once a really powerful state and was not only the rather small town of Venezia that you may visit today and the lion was in the coat of arms of all these places.
