ITALY
SHOWCASE
|
Architectural
elements of Venice stand at the showcase entrance, including
the Doge's Palace with elegant decoration and a scaled-down
version of the Campanile (bell tower) of St. Mark's Square.
Complementing
these buildings are Venetian bridges, gondolas, colorful
barber poles, and a sculpture of the Lion of St.Mark atop a
column. The promenade paving is patterned after St. Mark's.
Other buildings are composites of architecture found
throughout Italy. L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante is
reminiscent of the Florentine style; the stairway and portico
adjoining the Doge's Palace are typical of Verona; and the
town hall overlooking the promenade is reflective of Northern
Italy. The garden wail enclosing the piazza is typical of Rome
and Florence. Sculptures include a heroic version ofBemini's
Neptune Fountain, based on the original in Florence and the
Fountain of Trevi in Rome.
