ON THE SQUARE.
Asheville, N, C.
The , icampanile was on the sights"
of Venice. It was a square tower of ,
torick, unpainted and roughened by age,
but beautified at the ibas'e iby a small
building of Greek architecture known as
the iSan Sovino Loggetta, A winding
stairway led to the top. The summit
was handsomely crowned by a peaked
roof surmounted 'by a colossal statue.
From the spacious, windowed room un
der this roof all of the wonderful city
could be seen at a glance. The cam
panile stood opposite the beautiful old
cathedral and the (magnificent palace
of the ancient doges. It was erected in
888, restored in 1329, provided with a
marble top in 1417 and in 1517 was
crowned with the figure of an angel
nearly 16 feet high. The loggetta or
