Willis (1835) p.196 wrote that it was ‘so great a favorite with the Venetians, that it appears everywhere on their buildings amongst their mouldings, and that from the earliest ages to the latest, from the front of S. Marc to the Palazzi Foscari and Pisani...It is the most universal ornament in its own district that ever I met with, and is very rarely to be found out of it. It consists of a fillet with its sides cut alternately into notches, which reach the middle of the face and produce the effect of a double row of dentils; I have called it the Venetian dentil.
