Venice - Old Customs House
(Local Name: Dogana di Mare) The Customs House was built by G. Benoni between 1676 and 1682 when the Senate hoped they could halt the decline in the Venetian economy by enforcing rigorous customs regulations. On the tip of the spire is a weathervane of Fortuna, seen standing on a gilded globe supported by two telamones.
