The Piazzetta under snow. The Piazzetta (little Piazza Square) is an extension of the Piazza towards San Marco basin in its south east corner. The open end of the Piazzetta is marked by two large granite columns carrying symbols of the two patron saints of Venice. The first is Saint Theodore, who was the patron of the city before St Mark, holding a spear and with a crocodile to represent the dragon which he was said to have slain. This is made up of parts of antique statues and is a copy (the original is kept in the Doge's Palace). The second (eastern) column has a creature representing a winged lion — the Lion of Venice — which is the symbol of St Mark.
