Layout
The Italian Pavilion features a plaza surrounded by a collection of buildings evocative of Venetian and Roman architecture, including a functional re-creation of St Mark’s Campanile (bell tower) of St. Mark’s Square. A replica of the Doge’s Palace from Venice also figures prominently. The pavilion’s design is inspired by other hallmarks of Italian architecture, such as the Neptune Fountain (reminiscent of Rome’s Trevi Fountain), the Il Bel Cristallo shop (meant to resemble the exterior of the Sistine Chapel) and the Lion of St. Mark. Musicians, clowns and acting troupes often appear in the piazza throughout the day. There are also small shops selling Italian goods, such as candy and wine. Characters from Walt Disney’s “Pinocchio”, which was based on the work of Italian author Carlo Collodi, make daily appearances.
