Santa Maria Maggiore, Venice

[2] The church, which was completed at the start of the 16th century, as part of a convent, was suppressed and deconsecrated during the decade of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy.

[7] The monastery square, renamed Campo di Marte, became a place where Austrian officers practised horse riding.

The main nave was decorated with a fresco depicting the Exaltation of the Cross, Souls in Purgatory, and Our Lady in Glory with St.

The invocations of 8 of them are known: Saints of the Order, Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Marcellus, St. Nicholas, Ascension, St. Clare, Our Lady of Sorrows and St. John.

The side aisles are separated from the main nave by five paired columns with Ionic capitals, which support semicircular arches.

The canvas Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Paolo Veronese, located in the main altar, has undergone conservation and is also in the Accademia's collection.

The collection of the Pinacoteca includes: The Agony in the Garden of Olives (Veronese), The Victory of the Chartres over the Normans (Alessandro Varotari "Padovanino") and Madonna and Child with a Choir of Cherubim (Andrea Mantegna).

[1] Built on a square plan,[7] the campanile without bells rises to a height of 33 m.[1] It is decorated with the coat of arms of the Malipiero family.
