In the previous few shots I went around the Piazza dei Signori counterclockwise. This was a somewhat organised way of doing it, ensuring that I captured everything but didn't duplicate anything.

(In reality, I hadn't captured all I really needed because when I started to process these photos I had no idea what most of the buildings were. There are doubtless signs about the buildings but I had no time and no plan to take them. I've also started to realise that there is no point in having video as a function of your camera if you are not prepared to use it. I really regret having missed out on some of the opportunities to take videos at some of the places that we visited. However I digress.)

Of course at this point that structure fell apart because I went back to photograph the Palazzo del Governo, then, as you will see in a moment shot the building to the right of that, then went back and shot this building again. This suggests a somewhat random pattern which I find to be something best avoided, because it does mean that you will start to miss things. Not just individual items, but the whole feel of the place. It usually happens when you don't have enough time to really get an understanding of what you are actually seeing, or to plan the story that you want to tell. However with the amount we saw on this trip and the number of places that we went to, this was pretty much guaranteed situation.

In any case, this is a close-up of the main entrance of the building complete with a literary winged lion, an icon that I suspect has multiple layers of meaning.
