I've moved the article to St Mark's Basilica. This returns far more Google hits that its previous location (San Marco di Venezia), and most of those hits were copies of this page. Warofdreams 18:32, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I have no idea if the recent edits by 198.188.95.132 to this article are accurate, however someone from the same IP address at virtually the same time vandalized another article - so it would be good if these could be confirmed as legit. Pcb21| Pete 21:48, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • The edits don't look like vandalism, but aren't exactly accurate, either. I'll address them. Warofdreams 10:04, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Refering to the "added information" about a world famous feature of the Basilica, "The 4 Tetrarchs", a late roman statuary

from the time of Diocletian. How can a reference to this be considered "vandalism??? It is 900 years older than the present Basilica. It is a key artifact of Imperial Rome, like the equestrian statue of Marcu Aurelius in Rome.The Horses on public display are fibre-glass, for goodness sake. This is a real, and unique work of art,and it is set into the Basicila like a corner stone.

I think the 4 Tetrarchs should definitely be included here, it is a very important work. I am questioning the 3D image. It doesn't make sense to have an image with that kind of novelty, and requiring special glasses to view it. JohnDilworth 06:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

St Mark is undoubtedly the cathedral of Venice --Stefano Remo 22:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm working at "St Mark's Basilica", and contributions will arrive soon (I'll edit some more Venice churches then). Suggestions are welcome! --Stefano Remo 12:09, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Peerreview

I see the discussion needs to be stimulated. Please help me! --Stefano Remo 20:43, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Done! I have saved an expanded article removing the tag. --Stefano Remo 00:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
