The Rialto bridge and markets make this area a
magnet for visitors. Traditionally the city’s commercial
quarter, it was here that bankers, brokers and
merchants conducted their affairs. Streets are no
longer lined with stalls selling spices and fine fabrics,
but the food markets and pasta shops are unmissable.

8 Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari

More commonly known as the Frari (a corruption of frati,
meaning “brothers”), this vast Gothic church dwarfs the eastern
area of San Polo. The first church on the site was built by
Franciscan friars in 1250–1338, but was replaced by a
larger building completed in the mid-15th century.
The airy interior is striking for its sheer size and for
the quality of its works of art, including masterpieces
by Titian and Giovanni Bellini, a statue by
Donatello and several grandiose tombs.

9 Scuola Grande di San Rocco

Founded in honour of San Rocco (St Roch), a saint who dedicated
his life to helping the sick, the Scuola started out as a charitable
confraternity. Construction began in 1515 under Bartolomeo Bon
and was continued by Scarpagnino until his death in 1549. The work
was financed by donations from Venetians keen to invoke San Rocco’s
protection and the Scuola quickly became one of the wealthiest
in Venice. In 1564 its members decided to commission Tintoretto
to dec orate its walls and ceilings. His earliest paintings, the first
of over 50 works he eventually left in the Scuola, fill the small Sala

Fumiani’s epic ceiling painting
(1680–1740) in San Pantalon
The overwhelming feature of
this late 17th­century church
is its vast painted ceiling, dark,
awe­inspiring and remarkable
for its illusionistic effect of
height. The ceiling comprises a
total of 40 scenes, and admirers
claim that this is the world’s
largest work of art on canvas.
The scenes show the
martyrdom and apotheosis of
the physician St Pantalon. The
artist, Gian Antonio Fumiani,
took 24 years (1680–1704) to
achieve the masterpiece, before

Built on a stratum of solid subsoil is the sestiere of Dorsoduro – the name means

the largest open space in this part of Venice. The square bustles with activity,
particularly in the morning, when the market stalls are open, and in the evening
when it is the haunt of students from nearby Ca’ Foscari, now part of the University
of Venice. The surrounding streets contain some architectural stunners,
notably Ca’ Rezzonico and the Scuola Grande dei Carmini, which has
decorations by Tiepolo. Of the area’s waterways, the delightful Rio
San Barnaba is best appreciated from the Ponte dei Pugni, near
the barge selling fruit and vegetables – itself a time-honoured

This church has one of the most
homogeneous interiors in the
whole of Venice. The splendour
was created by Veronese who,
from 1555 to 1560 and again in
the 1570s, was commissioned
to decorate the sacristy ceiling,
the nave ceiling, the frieze, the
east end of the choir, the high
altar, the doors of the organ
panels and the chancel.
The paintings feature radiant
colours and rich costumes.
Those on the sacristy ceiling
depict the Coronation of the
Virgin and the Four Evangelists.
Of the other paintings, the finest
are the three that tell the story
of Esther, Queen of Xerxes I of
Persia, famous for securing the
deliverance of the Jewish people.

t Accademia
The art collection in the Accademia offers a complete
spectrum of the Venetian School, from the Byzantine era
through the Renaissance to the Baroque and later. The basis
of the collection was the Accademia di Belle Arti founded in
1750 by the painter Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. In 1807
Napoleon moved the collection to these premises, enriching
it with artworks removed from churches and monasteries.
The Accademia is currently undergoing extensive
restoration, which may result in
changes to the floorplan.

witnessed pageants, processions, political activities and
countless Carnival festivities. Visitors flock here in their

magnificent buildings complement lesser sights, such
as the Campanile, Museo Correr and Torre dell’Orologio,
not to mention the gardens of the Giardinetti Reali,
open-air orchestra concerts, elegant cafés – notably
Quadri and Florian’s – and numerous smart shops.

o Basilica di San Marco

Venice’s famous Basilica blends the architectural
and decorative styles of East and West to create one
of the greatest buildings in Europe. The exterior owes
its almost Oriental splendour to countless treasures
from the Republic’s overseas empire. Among these
are copies of the famous bronze horses brought from
Constantinople in 1204, and a wealth of columns,
bas-reliefs and coloured marbles studded across the
main façade. Mosaics from different epochs adorn the
five doorways, while the main portal is framed by some
of Italy’s loveliest Romanesque carving (1240–65). St Mark and Angels
The statues crowning the
central arch are additions
from the early 15th century.

The four horses are
replicas of the gilded

3 The Ascension Dome features
a magnificent 13th-century mosaic
of Christ surrounded by angels, the
12 Apostles and the Virgin Mary.
4 St Mark’s body, believed lost
in the fire of AD 976, supposedly

was consecrated in 1094. The

The Building of St Mark’s
Built on a Greek cross plan and
crowned with five huge domes,
this is the third church to stand
on the site. The first, which
enshrined the body of St Mark
in the 9th century, was destroyed
by fire. The second was pulled
down in favour of a church
reflecting Venice’s growing power.
The present design was inspired
by the Church of the Apostles
in Constantinople and was
completed and decorated over
the centuries. From 1075, all ships
returning from abroad had, by law,
to bring back a precious gift to
adorn “the House of St Mark”. The
mosaics inside are mostly 12th–
13th century and cover 4,240 sq m
(45,622 sq ft). Some were later
replaced by such artists as Titian
and Tintoretto. Until 1807 St Mark’s
was the doge’s private chapel,
used for ceremonies of State, after
which it succeeded San Pietro di
Castello as the cathedral of Venice.









The Tetrarchs
This charming sculptured group
in porphyry (4th century Egyptian)

Exploring the Basilica
St Mark’s magnificent interior is clad with dazzling
mosaics, which begin in the narthex, or atrium of the
Basilica, and culminate in the glittering panels of the
Pentecost and Ascension domes. The Genesis Cupola in
the atrium has a stunning Creation of the World described
in concentric circles. The pavimento, or floor, is also
patterned with mosaics in marble and glass. Steps from
the atrium lead to the Museo Marciano, home to the
Basilica’s famous horses. Other treasures include the
jewel-encrusted Pala d’Oro, behind the high altar, the
Nicopeia icon and the precious hoards of silver, gold
and glassware in the Treasury.

in 1204, is one of Venice’s

THE VENETO

The Veneto is a region of tremendous contrasts,
encompassing both the breathtaking natural beauty
of the Dolomites, Lake Garda (Italy’s largest lake) and
the rolling Euganean Hills, and the man-made delights of
magnificent ancient cities such as Verona, Vicenza and Padua.
Neighbouring Friuli-Venezia Giulia lines the border with Slovenia
to the east, taking in the Carnic Hills in the north, the Roman
town of Aquileia and the bustling Adriatic port of Trieste.
The Romans built frontier posts on this agriculture, commerce and the spoils of

Exploring the Veneto and Friuli

The flat landscape of the Veneto plain is dramatically offset by the
spectacular Dolomite mountains which form the northwestern
border to the Veneto. Friuli, Italy’s most northeasterly region, lies
tucked up against Austria to the north and Slovenia to the east. Monte

1 Verona

Verona is a vibrant trading centre, the largest city in the
Veneto region (followed by Venice) and one of the most
prosperous in northern Italy. Its ancient centre boasts many
magnificent Roman ruins, second only to those of Rome
itself, and fine palazzi built of rosso di Verona, the local pink-
tinged limestone, by the city’s medieval rulers. Verona has
two main focal points: the massive 1st-century Arena, which
is still the setting for major events including a large opera
festival, and Piazza Erbe, with its colour ful market. One of the
main attractions, however, is the church of San Zeno
Maggiore (see pp150–51), which boasts unusual medieval
bronze door panels: they are carved with extraordinary
scenes, some biblical, others on the life of San Zeno.
