Brick
Bricks where the first material used to pave the early walkways of Venice. The first Streets where paved with Venetian bricks in 1264 and were refereed to as Salizada.[1] Brick's don't simply serve as a mason brick in Venice but also as a base for all construction measurements. When constructing a Canal Wall, Bridge, or any other structure dimensions are based on the brick.
