San Pietro di Castello - Venice, Italy
Campanile of San Pietro di Castello



This Campanile was designed by Mauro Codussi and covered with Istrian stone. An earlier one had been destroyed by lightning. A stone-covered bell tower was unusual for Venice. Most were built to imitate the Campanile of San Marco, and that meant the exterior was exposed brick. Codussi designed this one in 1490, and it signaled the rise of the Renaissance style of classical, cool, refined surfaces rather than more exposed brick, characteristic of the Gothic period.
