 Saint
Mark's Basilica: beautiful Venetian church with 5 domes looks like the
ancient church of Costantinopoli. It was embellished during the early centuries
of the last millennium and particulary in the thirtheenth century when Venice
dominated Mediterranean culture and economy.The church, built to represent the power of Serenissima, is externally embellished with marble, mosaics and bas-relief: all maded with precious materials came from Bisanzio, Aquileia and Ravenna. Internally, the church has a Greek cross plan with domes substained by big columns. But the most amazing fact of this church is that the architectural structure is perfectly hidden by the beauty of the mosaics... |
Rialto
Bridge: Till thirteenth century Venice was built on a groups of islands
separated by channels and to get on the other side were laid down wood
boards. Later many bridges were built in Venice but no one of them joining
the Gran Canal's banks. This was a big problem for the Establishment so that population was always teasing it about this promise. Competition had been won by Antonio da Ponte who thought a unic arch bridge, 48 meters long and 22 meters wide. Foundation was started in 1588, and it took some years to finally join the opposite part of the Gran Canal and subsitute the previous wood bridge that many times collapsed before. To get an image of this previous bridge look at the famous painting by Carpaccio "Guarigione di un ossesso")... |
 Saint
Giorgio's School: The School took its name by the Dalmatian community
which became a corporation in 1451 with the patronage of saints George,
Jerom and Tryphon.It was officially opened in 1451 and testifies the presence of the Dalmatian (Schiavoni) community: Venice always trades with Dalmatia during its history. This School would probably be anonymous now if Jerusalem's patriarch had not gave the S. George's relic to the commander of Venetian fleet in 1502. At the same time, Carpaccio, was charged to realize some paintings dedicated to the saints Agostino, Matteo and Giorgio: masterpieces where Carpaccio reached the perfection of its art. School was closed as the other by Napoleon's edict. |
