Venice - Santa Maria di Nazareth / Church of the Discalced

(Local Name: Chiesa degli Scalzi) The church is a fine Baroque building erected between 1670 and 1680 by Baldassare Longhena. Its facade was added between 1683 and 1669 by Guiseppe Sardi. The building is famed for its many sculptures. In the second chapel on the right is Tiepolo's fresco "The Glory of St Teresa", and the third chapel on the left contains his fresco "Christ praying in the garden of Gethsemane".

The ceiling fresco by Tiepolo was destroyed by an Austrian grenade during the First World War. The present ceiling fresco is the work of Ettore Tito (1934).
