Venice was a prominent force in the world for a while after the fall
of Rome and the Doge was the man in charge. Between the rain and
rules against photos, our pictures are a little lacking. But here is a
decent one of the giant stairs where each new Doge was crowned - right
between Neptune and mars, and below the ubiquitous Venetian flying
lion. Then of course he would retire to his palace. It's good to be
the king.

Awesome pics. Sorry you have met rains. Hope the rest of your trip will be sunny.
It's good to be the Duke!
Of course it's all fun and games until someone follows you to church just to kill you and parade your head around on a stick.
