SANTA MARIA
DELLA PIETA' O DELLA VISITAZIONE -
Sestiere of Castello,
XVIII sec. -
First
fondation was of the fifteenth century but its actual aspect is due to
architect Massari who completely rebuilt it in the 1745.
The facade has a classical style, with a bas-relief above the main entrance
representing the La Carità, a work by the sculptor Marsili
(1800).
Church has a egg-shaped plan with a vaulted ceiling; sideways there're
two choirs where once were played concerts by the woman whom used to live
in the institute that stands from the side.
Church has an absolute importance becouse of the presence of Gian Battista
Tiepolo's works, the Fortezza e la Pace on the ceiling of the entry
and the Trionfo delle Fede painted on the ceiling of the church,
a real masterpiece by Tiepolo representing the crowning of Our Lady by
the God's hand.
