Venice - San Giobbe

 
The Church of San Giobbe is the first example of Tuscan Renaissance architecture in Venice. It was built by Antonio Gambello (from 1450) who began the church in the Late Gothic style (the Campanile is of that period) and Pietro Lombardo from 1471.

Especially interesting are Paris Bordone's "St Peter" dating from the 16th century (forth side-altar on the right), and the fine tomb-slab of Doge Cristoforo Moro, the church's founder, dated 1470, which is in front of the High Altar.

Must-see attractions nearby:
In the Sacristy is a triptych by Antonio Vivarini (ca. 1445) which can be seen on request.

The way to the church is along the Canale di Cannaregio and then left at the bridge, the Ponte del Tre Archi.
Address: San Giobbe, Campo San Giobbe, I-30100 Venice, Italy
