CHURCH
OF SS. APOSTOLI -
Sestiere
of Canaregio, XVII -
Even
if it has a really ancient foundation that collected the first escapers
from mainland, nowadays it doesn't have a strong architectonic importance,
as a great numbers of restorations changed and semplified the external
structure.
However the inside still has a sixteenth century structure: just one
nave supported by two orders of columns. While the chapel Corner by
Codussi is the only part remained of fifteenth century church. Here
was buried famous Caterina Cornaro, Cyprus Queen, whose monument seems
to be ascribe to Tullio Lombardo.
In this church is even kept one of the most spirituality paintings by
Giambattista Tiepolo, La comunione di Santa Lucia.
