Giovanni Polani

[4] The monks established their monastery near the Cathedral of San Pietro di Castello, and the income from the church helped support it.

[6] In 1139, encouraged by Dandolo, the clergy of the ancient church of San Salvatore in central Venice decided to become canons regular under the rule of St. Augustine.

[3] On 13 May 1141 Pope Innocent II lifted the interdict, placed San Salvatore under his personal protection and sent two canons to instruct the congregation in the rule.

[5] In 1141 Dandolo placed and blessed the foundation stone of the complex holding a church and hostel for pilgrims on the Isola di San Clemente.

[8] Eventually, in 1156 Polani was forced by the Pope to relinquish all claims against the church of San Clemente.
