When Swiss tennis pro Roger Federer signed an endorsement deal with Rolex in 2006, who would have expected that it would change the face of the fabled St. Mark's square in Venice? But this summer, while he slugged it out at Wimbledon, Federer's face has obscured most of the façade of the Sansovino Library, a Renaissance landmark described by the 16th century architect Andrea Palladio as the "richest and most decorated building" ever created. Never mind the winged lion or St. Theodore and his crocodile on top of their antique columns nearby. Roger has dreamy brown eyes and a very cool watch.
