Lonely Planet review for Palazzo dei Trecento
Piazza dei Signori is dominated by the fine brick Palazzo dei Trecento, the one-time seat of city government. Beneath the vaults you can stop for coffee and wistfully contemplate the worn 16th-century Fontana delle Tette (Tits Fountain), from whose breasts red and white wine flowed for three days each year on the appointment of a new town governor. The practice ended with the fall of Venice in 1797, itself enough reason for the locals to regret the passing of La Serenissima.
