Talking about renovation… Palazzo Ducale (The Doge's Palace) - scaffolding, Venice, Italy Take Saint Mark’s Square. You go there certain you will fully encompass the beauty of the Piazza this time. Pavement around Campanile renovated, Venice, Italy Nothing further from the truth! One-fourth of the pavement is being changed and the view that used to be so marvellous is now completely spoiled by some hideous fence they put to preserve the site.
