Photographer's Note

Doge's Palace -
The main entrance to the Doge's palace is the one called the Porta della Carta, that Giovanni and Bartolomeo Bon built in flamboyant Gothic style, between 1438 and 1443. It was once painted in blue, red and gold. The figure of Doge Francesco Foscari is shown kneeling before the Winged Lion, but the one we can see today is a copy of the original, which was destroyed at the time of the fall of the Republic.
