St. Theodore of Amasea, patron of the city before St Mark atop the western column at the south end of Piazzetta di San Marco.
The columns belonged to the spoils of war won by Constantinople with the help of Venetians and in the original plan should have been three, embarked on three different ships. Legend has it that one of these was shipwrecked and lost the column in the lagoon's slimy posts; such was the mass of mud that the wrecked column could never be found. The other two were left on the shore by St. Mark's square and there remained for over a century because nobody was able to hoist them. Only around the 12th century, Nicolò Barattieri, constructor from Bergamo, raised them exactly at the place where we see them today by means of a clever system of levers and ropes
The winged lion - the Lion of Venice - the symbol of St Mark
Between the two columns there was a legally recognized area, unique in Venice, where gambling was allowed, but in the 18th century that became the place where executions took place. Still today there is a Venetian idiom that reads: "Do you want me to show you the time?" Used as a threat, it refers to the fact that executions used to be carried out by holding the convict's back turned to the waterfront, so that the last thing he saw before death was the clock tower
