The Venetian facade system repeats across the city with the reliability of a grammar: a warm intonaco field, Istrian stone arches and sills, teal or green persiane, and the narrow wrought iron balconette that marks the piano nobile. Here all four elements appear simultaneously, two stories at once, the upper windows rectangular and shuttered flat, the lower ones arched — a semicircle of Istrian stone over each opening that is as much structural logic as ornament. The balconettes at the upper level are the restrained neoclassical type, their Greek-key brackets making small gestures toward ceremony. A lone flagpole bracket juts from the wall between the floors, presently empty — the most Venetian detail of all, a fixture for an occasion that may or may not come.
