I made this discovery for myself, after being puzzled by what might have been fancied changes of posture from day to day, due to optical illusion.

One of the shopkeepers on the Square, who has the campanile before his eye continually, replied, however, when I asked him if the figure was fixed or movable, "Fixed." This double duty of the new campanile angel--to shine in golden glory over the city and also to tell the wind--must be a little mortifying to her celestial sister on the campanile of S.Giorgio, who is immovable.

But no doubt she has philosophy enough to consider subjection to the caprices of the breeze a humiliation.
Another change for which one cannot be too grateful is the lift.

For the modest price of a franc one can be whirled to the belfry in a few seconds at any time of the day and refresh one's eyes with the city and the lagoon, the Tyrolese Alps, and the Euganean hills.

Of old one ascended painfully; but never again.
