A piazza is surrounded with stone buildings on three sides; at right is a basilica (San Marco). Across the background are multi-storied buildings; the center building has a large clock face in its center and a bell with two bronze figures at its top. At the left is a building with columns (the loggia) and part of a tower (the campanile). In the square are three flag poles and numerous seated and standing figures. A blue sky with white clouds is visible over the buildings.
