when in italy, i have done a lot of looking up. beautifully adorned ceilings adorned with ornate sculptures and al frescos are the norm. it was like the intention was for people to look up and feast on beautiful works of art as a prelude to heaven.
the entrance to st mark’s cathedral in venice was no exception. not to mention the multiple domes, the turrets and elaborate mosaics. this is a must visit when in venice.
Basilica di san Marco: Lat Long (45.434561, 12.339712)
my take
