Piazza Navona: Piazza San Marco

San Marco is apparently the only piazza in Venice. This is a big change from Rome since there are piazzas everywhere. The closest things to piazzas in Venice are the campos. The campos are quite numerous, but are considerably smaller than the piazzas. Piazza San Marco though was also a big change from the piazzas that I have grown acclimatized to in Rome. There were no street performers, and far, far fewer street vendors. The piazza consisted pretty much of just shops, and a few restaurants, quite a change from Piazza Navona especially. All in all, I would have to say that Piazza San Marco is definitely not up to part with Piazza Navona. The really awesome thing that does go on around there is that in the restaurants there are always musicians. Everywhere I went I could hear the Godfather theme song being played, which is always a treat to the ears.
