CHURCH OF S. GIOVANNI EVANGELISTA - Sestiere of San Polo. -

San Giovanni Evangelista Church and the adjoining Scuola should have been thought as a unique complex, in fact they had same restorations since eighteenth century.
S. Carlo Chapel once kept a cross' relic that after was moved into the S. Giovannni Evangelista's Scuola Grande.
This church offers to the turist an important overall view about seventeenth century painting through the paintings San Giovanni evangelista mentre scrive il Vangelo, and Santi Giacomo e Mattia by Pietro Liberi and Crocefissione by Domenico Tintoretto dating back at 1626.
Two works by Marieschi mark the passage to the eighteenth century: L'ultima cena (Last Dinner) and L'esaltazione della Croce that is on the ceiling.
