GENERALI BUILDING
This trade and business building was designed by Italian architect Marcello Piacentini in 1934 in a combined classic and international style. The façades of the shops on the ground floor are convex built of coarse stone. The building outline matches the streets junction. The winged lion on top symbolizes Venice patron St. Marcus which is the symbol of the Venice based Generali insurance company.
