It was
rebuilt for the first time in the twelfth on the place of
a probable sighting tower; it was renovated during the
first years of the sixteenth century by Bartholomeo Bon
on sketch of George Spavento, and it foresaw the addition
of a bell cell with the cusp covered with copper and
surmounted by a kind of revolving platform on which was
set the statue of the Archangel Gabriele, that had to
point out the direction of the winds. The bell tower
collapsed suddenly on July the 14 th 1902; there were
many projects about the place and the method of building
of the new bell tower but the Venetian citizen wanted it
like and where it was. The reconstruction was completed
in 1912. Today is still possible to hears the sound of
the only bell called the "marangona", wich
survived the collapse of 1902. |
