In 1723 the bricks were replaced with a more complex geometrical pavement design composed of a field of dark-colored igneous [[trachyte]] with geometrical designs executed in white [[Istrian stone]], similar to [[travertine]]. Squares of diagonally-laid blocks alternated with rectangular and oval designs along broad parallel bands. The squares were pitched to the center, like a bowl, where a drain conducted surface water into a below-grade drainage system. The pattern connected the central portal of the Basilica with the center of the western opening into the piazza. This line more closely parallels the façade of the Procuratie Vechhie, leaving a nearly triangular space adjacent to the Procuratie Nuove with its wider end closed off by the Campanile. The pattern continued past the campanile, stopping at a line connecting the three large flagpoles and leaving the space immediately in front of the Basilica undecorated. A smaller version of the same pattern in the Piazzetta paralleled [[Biblioteca Marciana|Sansovino’s Library]], leaving a narrow trapezoid adjacent to the Doge’s palace with the wide end closed off by the southwest corner of the Basilica. This smaller pattern had the internal squares inclined to form non-[[orthogonal]] quadrilaterals.
