Day 3

The Venetian (St Mark’s) Campanile clock tower is nearly complete.  This is a large house of cards, but it will be dwarfed by the buildings yet to come.  I’m plesed to report that it’s a very stable building.  It will need to be stable to stand for the many coming weeks it will take to me complete this project.  Almost 8 more weeks until the knockdown event.  

The historic St Marks’s Campanile of Venice was begun in the 9th century, but suddenly collapsed in 1902.  It was rebuilt soon thereafter and remains one of the icons of Venice.  Hopefully, the one I’ve built won’t surprise me with an unexpected collapse.
