Place of worship

Giorgio Massari's bright 18th-century church on the Zattere, with three ceiling frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo (1737-39) centred on the Institution of the Rosary. In the first chapel on the left is Tintoretto's Crucifixion, and Piazzetta painted the near-monochrome Three Dominican Saints.

Good to know

  • Tiepolo also painted the monochrome Trinity fresco on the chapel walls; most visitors look only at the ceiling.
  • It is on the Zattere promenade, so it fits a walk from the Accademia to San Sebastiano.
