| description | |
| The church of San Giovanni Elemosinario is very old: it was in fact founded before 1071, but nothing remains of the original building because of the disastrous fire that struck the entire Rialto area in 1514. As a result of this terrible disaster, the rebuilding of the church was completed before 1531. The present building is completely inserted into its dense urban setting, enough to make them difficult to be recognised. The church, a beautiful example of Renaissance architecture, holds two marvellous paintings, testimony of two great artists of the sixteenth century - Titian and Pordenone. | |
