 Monumental end of 12th Century Church |
3072 San Polo (Campo dei Frari) Venice 30124 Italy +39 41 522 2637 |
Built in the middle of the 13th century, this church was extended and grew until the 16th century. The church houses paintings by Tiziano, such as 'l'Assunta' and 'La Madonna di ca' Pesaro'. In the side chapel, you'll find Bellini's 'Madonna in Trono'. It also contains the tombs of Tiziano, Canova, Monteverdi, and Francesco Foscari. In spite of it's many historical and artistic treasures, the church's large dimensions make it seem empty. Services are held daily. Call ahead for details or simply walk in. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The Famous Playwright's House |
San Polo 2794 Venice 30125 Italy +39 41 275 9325 http://www.museicivicivenezian... |
Carlo Goldoni, renowned author of such 18th-century plays as The Persian Wife and The Obstinate Women, was born and raised in this humble abode. Now part of a network of historical museums, the 15th-century structure stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the era - a true-blue model of Venetian Gothic. Inside, exhibits and displays tell the tale of Goldoni's life and times, and celebrate the epic themes with which he toyed. Whether you're a rabid Goldoni fan or just a lover of striking architecture, this will be a satisfying experience. See website for seasonal hours and info on associated museums.

Works by Jacopo Tintoretto |
Campo San Rocco Venice 30125 Italy +39 41 523 4864 |
This stunning building was built in the Renaissance, but displays traces of successive interventions up until the baroque period. It is often used as a concert hall, and is next to the San Rocco Church with which it is often mistaken. It is dedicated to Rocco, who cured the sick during the 14th-century plague. The interior decoration of the school was entrusted to Jacopo Tintoretto, whose works, such as the 'Allegories', 'Life and Passion of Christ', and episodes from the Old and New Testaments can be admired. Among the most famous displays are 'The Annuciation', 'The Epiphany', and 'The Flight to Egypt'. Review © 2007, Wcities |
