Architectural elements of Venice stand at the
showcase entrance, including the Doge's Palace with elegant decoration and a scaled-down
version of the Campanile (bell tower) of St. Mark's Square.
Complementing these buildings are
Venetian bridges, gondolas, colorful barber poles, and a sculpture of the Lion of St.Mark
atop a column. The promenade paving is patterned after St. Mark's. Other buildings are
composites of architecture found throughout Italy. L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante
is reminiscent of the Florentine style; the stairway and portico adjoining the Doge's
Palace are typical of Verona; and the town hall overlooking the promenade is reflective of
Northern Italy. The garden wail enclosing the piazza is typical of Rome and Florence.
Sculptures include a heroic version ofBemini's Neptune Fountain, based on the original in
Florence and the Fountain of Trevi in Rome.
