| description | |
| The church of Santa Maria del Giglio, of ancient foundation (IX century.), owes its current ‘forms’ to the reconstruction occurred in the second half of the 17th century. The facade is one of the most original and sumptuous Venetian baroque works. The interior is made up of a single aisle, and the ceiling is decorated with large paintings by Antonio Zanchi. Worth noting is the painting by Peter Paul Rubens representing the Madonna and Child and St. John, the splendid Four Evangelists by Jacopo Tintoretto, as well as works by Alessandro Vittoria, Sebastiano Ricci, Giambattista Piazzetta, Jacopo Palma and Gian Maria Morlaiter, which make this church an extraordinary ‘document’ of Venetian art. | |
