The dial is an evocative scene of St. Mark's Square by night: the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore in the background, the Doge's Palace to the left, and the lion of St.
Mark standing at the center as fireworks light a starry sky. The 316L stainless steel case measures 40mm across, 46. 7mm lug-to-lug, and just 11. 5mm thick, with an onion-shaped crown and reduced crown guard for easier adjustment, and curved lug attachments for wrist comfort. What sets Bellanotte apart is its four-layer dial construction: a starry sky in aventurine sits behind a small off-center disc in white mother-of-pearl – symbolizing the moon and framed by a polished steel ring – layered over a satin-finished fireworks disc set against rhodium-plated bas-reliefs of the Doge's Palace and Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore.
A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, the caseback is engraved with the Basilica del Redentore and its fireworks alongside an explanatory inscription. The four-level dial is made possible by a compact automatic movement – the Seiko NH05A caliber, with a movement diameter of just 17.
55mm – secured with a brass ring finished in perlage. It's a simple 2-hand automatic, chosen specifically to keep the dial construction thin enough for the layered scene to read clearly. Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM (50m), suited to everyday wear rather than swimming, and the watch is backed by Venezianico's 2-year international warranty.
