Veronese Banners
« on: 04 March 2023, 03:09:55 PM »
I've just started a new project that involves making buildings suitable for a piazza  in an early 16th century Italian/Venetian town. I want to make the buildings generic, but be able to decorate the piazza with banners specific to the location I'm setting a game in.
My first location is Verona. Can anyone suggest suitable banners to use in addition to the usual Venetian images?

You definitely need a tavern sign that reads I due gentiluomini di Verona  :)

Well usual Venetian images isn't a bad start. There's the Lion of St Mark atop a column in the Piazza delle Erbe, a little less famous than its counterpart in Venice. Should do double duty for you. Might want to search to find  if there are any tourist souvenirs of a suitable size.

That's a great idea for a tavern sign, which will be very in keeping with my planned game setup.

As Venice is one of my favourite cities to visit, I already have a couple of Venetian souvenirs which will be pressed into service for this project.
