Star-Spangled Banner in Italy


Italy and America. Two great passions of mine. And to see this large banner across this street in San Marco made me smile...

Are there no festive lights on in Venice? Saw the last Anon comment and I agree.....lets see some holiday photos

Why is it there, I wonder? Some kind of American government agency or business? The home of an American? Just an enthusiast?

Hi Mike there are strong links with venice and the USA, Save Venice in New York events support restoration efforts in the city so the flag is a welcome symbol I guess
Pier might tell us were it was photographed

I guess I should like this too—and I do!

Save Venice is in Boston too! In fact Save Venice was founded in Boston! We are currently working on raising funds for the restoration of San Sebastiano. Make a donation or join us for an event sometime!

Hello Christopher I hope you get to read my comments, I just saw yours now.
I too recall that Save Venice was associated with Boston but the website only mentions that it is based in New York no comments on Boston unless you plug that into google which is a terrible shame!!
When I was in NY I did join you for an event! Great work and Im very happy to know there is such great support
