S.
NICOLA DA TOLENTINO
- Sestiere
of Santa Croce, XVI sec. -
Eighteenth-century-facade
by Andrea Tirali, could be deceptive about fifteenth-century-foundation
of Tolentini's church. In 1528 Saint Gaetano da Thiene arrived in Venice
and immediately built a small Sunday School and later, with the alms
thay managed to buy the adjoining piece of land where build the church
and the Padri Teatini's monastery. Vincenzo scamozzi was the architact
of the project that was realized between 1591 and 1602.
Interior keeps precious works of the Venetian Renaissance: Jacopo Palma
il Giovane, Sante Peranda, Leandro Bassano, Pietro Damini. In the wide
presbitery there're the altar by Baldassare Longhena and the baroque
Monumento al Patriarca Morosini by F. Parodi.
