CHURCH
OF SANTA MADDALENA -
Sestiere
of Canaregio -
Built
on a project by Tommaso Temanza, is one of the few churches in Venice
having a hexagonal plan, on which rests a big semicircular dome with
a lantern.
Six chapels, corresponding to the six sides, keep precious paintings
of the seventeenth century; many of them came from Piazzetta's school,
as L'Apparizione della Vergine a San Simone Stock by Giuseppe
Angeli or Il sacrificio d'Isacco, placed over the main door.
