On his death in 1475 at the ripe old age of 75, Bartolomeo Colleoni, the Captain-General of the Republic of Venice, left a large sum with a request that a Statue of him on a steed be erected in the San Marco Piazzo. He got half his wish. A statue was duly modelled by Verrocchio then cast in bronze by Leopardi, but permission to install it in the piazza was denied. Instead, it was placed in the Campo San Giovanni e Paolo, the square next to which sits the Scuola Grande di San Marco (Venice Hospital) and the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo. And some houses and a ristorante. Not quite what old Bart had in mind methinks.
Shot with a B&W IR 5D2.
