Here, motor vehicles have been eliminated, and all the vehicles we are accustomed to seeing in daily life, such as police cars, ambulances, garbage trucks and municipal buses, have been replaced by boats. As we walk from the Riva degli Schiavoni to St. Mark’s Square, you can see the Venice prison and the “Ponte dei Sospiri,” the Bridge of Sighs connecting the prison with the Doge’s Palace, San Giorgio Island directly opposite the bridge, the twin columns in the square in front of the main façade of the Doge’s Palace, called the city’s gateway, and the statues symbolizing Venice atop these columns. The square where St. Mark’s Basilica stands was called “the most beautiful square in the world” by Napoleon.
