Venezia shows info about one planet at a time but lets you select which one. By default, you can tap on the left or right side of the face to advance through the available planets (tapping on the left cycles in one direction; tapping on the right cycles in the other).
In addition to the 5 planets visible to the naked eye, the Sun, and the Moon, all of which are shown on Miami, Firenze, and Padua, this face also can show information about Uranus and Neptune, which can, with a little effort and the knowledge of where to look, be seen with binoculars or a small telescope.
The three subdials show the rise, transit, and set times for the selected planet on the current day. The tiny dot above 12 on each one is black for PM, white for AM, and red if there is no such time for the selected planet for this day. (There is always a transit time, which is defined as the time at which the planet crosses the meridian, though at high latitudes it may be below the horizon.)
The long cyan hand indicates the selected planet's azimuth read against the outermost dial. The shorter magenta hand indicates its altitude read against the magenta half-dial. And the yellow hand indicates its position in the zodiac read against the yellow arc on the right. In addition, three tiny sun icons always show the position of the Sun on these dials.
Near the top of the dial is a display indicating which planet is selected (a different image is displayed for each planet), with a phase indicator like that of Chandra. The same phase indicator is also shown for the planets, though only the inner planets (Mercury and Venus) have any appreciable phase to display.
In example at the top of the page, the selected planet (actually the Moon in this case) is almost exactly due west at 272 degrees azimuth, at 7 degrees above the horizon, 123 degrees west of and lower than the Sun.
The large central hands show hours and minutes in ordinary 12-hour format (but with no dial). The dot just above the six o'clock position is black for PM and white for AM.
In ambient mode, the same information is displayed, but with different colors to save energy.
