What's the diameter? What does it say on the back? Is that a gondola in the foreground?
I googled stadiums on a canal, stadiums in Italy, etc. and couldn't come up with anything. If it is an Italian stadium, I don't think it would have much value here in the states.

It's 1 1/4" in diameter. It says Buttons made by Whitehead & Hoag patent 1896. It certainly looks like a gondola and the stadium right on the water.
No clue otherwise, very odd. Why would an American company make a button of a foreign stadium and not mark it? Is it possibly a World's Fair piece?

It's an early prototype of AT&T Park. That's McCovey Cove in the foreground, and a depiction of an early kayak (not a gondola )

Tony makes an excellent guess. Not sure there's any view here specifically of the "stadium," but plenty of shots
of the buildings, waterways, and gondolas at the 1896 Columbian Exposition (world's fair) fairgrounds begin here: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...um&FORM=HDRSC2
