Cosmopolitan Revival is a movement or gathering influenced by art exhibitions and music events. The term indirectly suggests the birth of a kibbutz.

Preamble

==World's Columbian Exposition==

The World's Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World. Chicago bested New York City, Washington, D.C. and St. Louis, Missouri for the honor of hosting the fair. The fair had a profound effect on architecture, the arts, Chicago's self image and American industrial optimism. The exposition was designed by Daniel Burnham. In essence, it was the prototype of what Burnham and his colleagues thought a city should be. It was designed to follow Beaux arts principles of design: European Classical Architecture principles based on symmetry and balance.

St Mark's Campanile Collapse

St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, located in the St Mark's Piazza. This 98.6 meter tall tower made of brick is a recognizable symbol of the city. St Mark's initial construction was made in the ninth century during the reign of Pietro Tribuno. Built on Roman foundations), St Mark's was used as a watch tower for the dock which then occupied what is now the Piazzetta dei Leoncini. Construction was finished in the twelfth century, during the reign of Domenico Morosini. The base of the campanile is part of the logetta which housed the barracks of the guard for the Doge's Palace. The logetta was built by Sansovino, completed in 1549 and extended in 1663. In July of 1902, the north wall of the tower began to show signs of a dangerous crack that in the following days continued to grow. Finally, on Monday, 14 July, around 9:45am, the campanile collapsed completely, also demolishing the logetta. Remarkably no one was killed, except for the caretaker's cat.<ref> </ref> Given the position of the campanile, the resulting damage was relatively limited. Besides the logetta, only a corner of Sansovino's library was destroyed. The piera del bando, a large porphory column from which laws used to be read, protected the basilica itself. As it stands today, the tower is a reconstruction completed in 1912 after the collapse of 1902.
