Santa Maria della Fava

Venecia / Italia

Santa Maria della Fava, also originally known as Santa Maria della Consolazione, is an ancient Roman Catholic church in the sestiere of Castello in Venice, Italy. The suffix of della Fava attributed to the church, bridge and piazza has a number of attributed derivations. One explanation is that this area in Venice was used for the commerce of beans or the home of pastry shops for bean cake. A more colorful legend, perhaps for consumption of tourists, is that a man smuggling salt and beans was apprehended at the site, but when he kneeled before a local icon of the Madonna painted on a wall of Ca' Dolce, the salt from his bag disappeared, and thus he escaped imprisonment. The church then was built to house the miraculous icon. Finally, the church may have been endowed by the Fava family from Ferrara. The original church at the site was completed by 1500. While by 1662, it was under the jurisdiction of the Procuratoria of St Mark, it later was under the order of Saint Phillip Neri. The reconstructed, but unfinished, church we see today was designed by Antonio Gaspari in 1711, while the apse and presbytery were completed by Giorgio Massari. The interior of the church has a famous altarpiece of Saint Anne, Young Mary, and Saint Gioacchino, by Tiepolo. It also houses a Virgin with St Phillip Neri by Piazzetta. A series of statues of Saints and Evangelists were carved by Giuseppe Bernardi. Flanking the altar, which was designed by Massari are two angels by Giovanni Maria Morlaiter.

Sant'Antonin, Venice

Venecia / Italia

Sant'Antonin is a church in the sestiere of Castello in Venice, Italy. The church was initially founded by the patrician Badoer family in the seventh century. It was reconstructed in the 12th century, and again in 1680, under designs of Baldassare Longhena. The bell-tower was added in 1750. The chapel on the left, dedicated to St Saba, was frescoed by Alessandro Vittoria on the walls, and in the ceiling by Sebastiano Ricci with Saints Saba and Antonin. The Chapel’s altarpiece by Lazzaro Bastiani depicts a Deposition. It derives originally from the church of San Severo. The Tiepolo family commissioned the decoration of another chapel, with works by Palma il Giovane depicting the life of San Saba. The chapel is said to contain her remains brought here from Acre by Lorenzo Tiepolo during the 13th century War of Saint Sabas. The chapel also has a bust of Alvise Tiepolo by Alessandro Vittoria.

Dorsoduro

Venecia / Italia

Dorsoduro es uno de los seis sestieri de Venecia . Incluye las zonas más altas de tierra de la ciudad y también la isla de Giudecca y Sacca Fisola. Su nombre deriva del italiano «cresta dura», debido a su tierra, comparativamente alta y estable. El núcleo original de la zona era el Canal Giudecca, a lo largo del cual fueron construyéndose edificios desde el siglo VI. Para el siglo XI, se había difundido el asentamiento a lo largo del Gran Canal, mientras que edificios religiosos posteriores, incluyendo la Basílica de Santa María de la Salud y el muelle Zattere son actualmente sus principales hitos. En el siglo XIX, la Academia se estableció en Dorsoduro, y el puente de la Academia la unió con el sestiere de San Marco, haciendo de él una zona cara, popular entre los estudiantes extranjeros, industrializándose su límite occidental y la Giudecca. Otras atracciones en el barrio sobre las islas principales son el Museo Guggenheim de Venecia, el Palacio Dario, San Trovaso, San Pantalón, San Nicolò da Tolentino, el Ospedale Giustinian, la San Sebastiano, el Palacio Ariani, el Palacio Zenobio, la Iglesia de Santa María del Carmelo y la Scuola Grande dei Carmini, Campo Santa Margherita, Ca' Foscari, Ca' Rezzonico, Palacio Delfín de San Pantaleón y Campo San Barnaba.
