La colonna di San Marco

La colonna di San Marco

Piazza delle Erbe, Verona, Italy

 

North of the Piazza delle Erbe, in front of the Maffei Palace, stands St Mark's Column, which was erected in 1523. It was sculpted in Veronese white marble, from a design by Michele Leoni. The lion at the top of the column is not the original. This was knocked down in 1797, when the Venetian Republic ceased to exist. This was a result of the Treaty of Campoformio in which Napoleon ceded Venice in exchange for the Duchy of Milan. The current lion was placed at the top of the column in 1866, the year of the Vienna Peace Treaty and of the plebiscites: the year which signalled the reunification of the Veneto to the rest of Italy.
