The bulk of Italy's relatively small pavilion represents Venice: from gondolas moored alongside candystick poles in the lagoon to the tremendous versions of the towering redbrick campanile and the 14th-century Doge's Palace of St Mark's Square. The courtyard building behind are Veronese and Florentine in style, and the Neptune statue is a copy of a Bernini work.

  • Italy was meant to be twice the size it is today, but funding from the host country ran out half-way through building the pavilion.
