A real gem is kept on the north side of the inner courtyard of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi: a magnificent 24-hour clock dating from 1571! Impossible not to notice its blue and gold details and its dial graduated from I to XXIV, evidence of a time when the start of the day was counted from sunset. Just think that a bell tolled at each stroke of the hour! Visit this unique place to discover all the stories it holds! #TheMerchantOfVenice
