Venice - Formelle

7/10/2016

2 Comments

 
Formelle is another type of marble sculpture/architectural decoration on buildings. These usually are larger and rectangular. They often are above doorways but not always. These pieces can indicate a society that the household is affiliated with, a talisman for harmonious living, a family crest or a patron saint. They are not as old as the patere but are also associated with Venice. I have included three lovely square ones we happened on in our wanderings These too seemed to closely related by themes to the older patere.
