Judging from how crowded Piazza San Marco always is, an astronomical number of people must visit Venice's main square each day.  Ironically, however, they go to the square but not see the square.  The Basilica, the Campanile and other elegant buildings that surround Piazza San Marco - they are always in plain sight.  And most visitors stand or sit inside the square to marvel at the magnificent architecture around them while their small children, if any, chase the pigeons.

But what kind of pavement is laid there on the floor?  What about the design work?  Not many people actually remember simply because they couldn't see it.  Here's a tip.  There's a small window of opportunity to admire the square itself if you get up early in the morning before tourists start arriving around 8am.  Yes, chi dorme non piglia pesci (the early bird catches the worm) but I also know, tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare (it's easier said than done).
