Real photo postcard of the Monumento a Colleoni in Venice, Italy — the celebrated bronze equestrian statue of condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni by Andrea del Verrocchio (1480–88, cast by Alessandro Leopardi), set atop its elaborate marble pedestal in Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Behind the statue rises the ornate polychrome marble facade of the Scuola Grande di San Marco, one of Venice's most magnificent Renaissance buildings. Figures in period dress gather near the iron fence below. A second image provides a close-up of the Scuola Grande facade. Published by Ediz. R. Eraldi, Milano, 1934.
