  • St Mark's Campanile (Campanile di San Marco in Italian) is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, located in the Piazza San Marco. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city.
    The tower is 98.6 metres (323 ft) tall, and stands alone in a corner of St Mark's Square, near the front of the basilica. It has a simple form, the bulk of which is a fluted brick square shaft, 12 metres (39 ft) wide on each side and 50 metres (160 ft) tall, above which is a loggia surrounding the belfry, housing five bells. The belfry is topped by a cube, alternate faces of which show the Lion of St. Mark and the female representation of Venice (la Giustizia: Justice). The tower is capped by a pyramidal spire, at the top of which sits a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel. The campanile reached its present form in 1514. The current tower was reconstructed in its present form in 1912 after the collapse of 1902.
    The initial 9th-century construction, initiated during the reign of Pietro Tribuno and built on Roman foundations,[1] was used as a watch tower or lighthouse for the dock, which then occupied a substantial part of the area which is now the Piazzetta. Construction was finished in the twelfth century, during the reign of Domenico Morosini. Adjoining the base of the campanile is the loggetta built by Sansovino, completed in 1549 and rebuilt in 1912 after it had been destroyed by the fall of the campanile. One of the models for the tower was the St. Mercuriale's Campanile, in Forlì.
    Il campanile di San Marco è uno dei simboli della città di Venezia. I veneziani lo chiamano affettuosamente El parón de casa (Il padrone di casa). Assieme all'omonima basilica e all'omonima piazza San Marco, da cui prende il nome, è il principale monumento di Venezia e uno dei simboli d'Italia.
    Alto 98,6 metri è uno dei campanili più alti d'Italia. Si erge, isolato, in un angolo di piazza San Marco di fronte alla basilica. Di forma semplice, si compone di una canna di mattoni, scanalata, avente un lato di 12 metri e alta circa 50 metri, sopra la quale si trova la cella campanaria, ad archi. La cella campanaria è a sua volta sormontata da un dado, sulle cui facce sono raffigurati alternativamente due leoni andanti e le figure femminili di Venezia (la Giustizia). Il tutto è completato dalla cuspide, di forma piramidale, sulla cui sommità, montata su una piattaforma rotante per funzionare come segnavento, è posta la statua dorata dell'arcangelo Gabriele. La base della costruzione è impreziosita, dal lato rivolto verso la basilica, dalla Loggetta del Sansovino.
