Language School Explorer - Information about Venice The Cavalieri di San Marco was the only order of chivalry ever instituted in Venice, and no citizen could accept or join a foreign order without the government’s consent.

In the 12th century the essentials for the power of Venice were laid: the Venetian Arsenal was under construction in 1104; Venice wrested control of the Brenner pass from Verona in 1178, opening a lifeline to silver from Germany; the last autocratic doge, Vitale Michiele, died in 1172. www.school-explorer.com /info/Venice   (636 words)

Italy With Us - March 2002 Issue (Page 4) The eight most famous monuments are Basilica of San Vitale, Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Basilica of Saint Apollinare in Classe, Basilica of Saint Apollinare Nuovo, Mausoleum of Theodoric, the Archiepiscopal Chapel, the Arian Baptistry and the Neonian Baptistry.

As I told you, the Mausoleum of Theodoric is different, not only it is made by a stone not originally from here, but it doesn't have mosaics, and the aspect and shape is also different from the other monuments in Ravenna. www.italywithus.com /ezine/032002/march_2002_4.htm   (2847 words)
