Catatan
On closer inspection of the well, we might notice that the lion is holding a
closed rather than an open book. Someone once told me that this meant that the
lagoon island of the lazaretto nuovo was on the margins of the city and that the
iconography was designed to impart this sense of separation. Other depictions
of the lion of St Mark on the island, however, are more conventional and show
the lion with an open book. Examples of these closed books can be found in
Venice too. Instead of emphasising a peripheral location, the imagery of the closed
book is often interpreted by scholars to mean that the well-head was constructed
when Venice was at war.8
Even if division was not the message of the well-head
iconography, the enduring perception of this island as being on the periphery of the
city is important. For centuries, the island of the lazaretto nuovo accommodated
one of Venice’s two plague hospitals – the institutions at the heart of this book.
