	Procuratie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The Procuratie Nuove, on the south side of the Square was begun in 1586 by Vincenzo Scamozzi in a more strictly Classical style and completed by Longhena in 1640, designed to afford more space to offices connected with the procurators.

		The long side of the L, the "square," is defined by the (old) Procuratie Vecchie to the north, and the sixteenth -century Nuove Procuratie on the south.
		In a picture taken as the sun rose behind the cathedral, the camera scanned counterclockwise from west (the museum with its IMPRESSIONISTI banner) to south (the Procuratie Nuove), past the Campanile and San Marco itself in the east, the Procuratie Vecchie in the north, to finish again in the west.
		Snelson set up closer to the Vecchie on the north, doubtless so the bell tower would not obscure the cathedral, and far enough west to include most of the Campanile's height in the photograph.

	Piazza San Marco by CANALETTO
		San Marco is the main church of the city and the Piazza its central open space, on which the chief government buildings are located: on the left of the painting the Procuratie Vecchie and on the right the Procuratie Nuove, with the adjacent Campanile, the bell-tower of the basilica.
		However, since the obviously accentuated gutters on the square are parallel to one another whereas the two Procuratie are not, there is a tension to the perspective that breaks the classic peep-box construction.
		The same can be said of the powerful vertical lines of the Campanile, which fastens, as it were, the entire composition securely on to the upper edge of the canvas.

		After the intervention of Eugène de Beauharnais, the project was awarded to the architect Giovanni Antonio Antolini whose initial idea was to demolish the ensemble.

		Away to the left from the Torre dell'Orologio, stretches the Procuratie Vecchie, once the home of the Procurators of San Marco, whose responsibilities included the upkeep of San Marco and the administration of the other government-owned properties.
		The Procuratie Nuove were eventually built between 1582 and 1640, first to designs by Scamozzi, and then under Longhena's control.
		His solution had the true, gossamer-light Napoleonic touch to it: he demolished Sansovino's church of San Geminiano, which had taken up part of the third side of the Piazza, and connected the Procuratie Nuove and Vecchie with a wing containing the essential facility.
