Venice, Italy, June 1989. I climbed to the top of the Campanile only once.
(Here's my preferred view; here's the café. Here's a reason to avoid the piazzetta.)

Fear of Heights
Venice, Italy, June 1989. I climbed to the top of the Campanile only once.

Morning Arrival
Venice, Italy, November 1983. I've arrived at the Piazzetta San Marco, and I'm under the porticos of the Palazzo Ducale. It's not as chilly as it looks; it's just fur-coat season.

Ready for the Tourists
Venice, Italy, April 1984. The tables are set at the Gran Caffè Chioggia. The Marciana is on the left, behind the café. You've seen this spot before from a different angle—and in different weather.

Pioggia in Piazza
Piazzetta San Marco, November 1983. Morning rain arrives in the Piazza. The building on the right houses the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. The "Marciana" is the library at which I worked when the Archivio di Stato closed. It's also the place to go for secondary sources.
