| St Marks Clock is the clock housed in the St Marks Clocktower, on St Marks Square in Venice, Italy , adjoining the Procuratie Vecchie. Driven by weights, with a foliot escapement, the clock controlled both the bell-ringing shepherds on the tower, who would have rung the bell between 1 and 24 times to sound the Italian hours, and a carousel which showed the procession of the Magi, preceded by an angel blowing a trumpet. |
