Saint
Mark's Basilica: beautiful Venetian church with 5 domes
looks like the ancient church of Costantinopoli. It was embellished
during the early centuries of the last millennium and particulary
in the thirtheenth century when Venice dominated Mediterranean
culture and economy. The church, built to represent the power
of Serenissima, is externally embellished with marble, mosaics
and bas-relief: all maded with precious materials came from
Bisanzio, Aquileia and Ravenna. Internally, the church has a
Greek cross plan with domes substained by big columns. 
S.
Rocco: this
School was built in 1515 following the project of Bon and Scarpagnino,
and soon became famous becouse of the Tintoretto's paintings.
Tintoretto in fact worked here for more than twenty years representing
many masterpieces of Venetian painting between the Renaissance
and Mannerism. 
Guggenheim
Museum: Building should have characterized with its magnificence
the last part of Gran Canal: these were at least the purposes
of the first owner who built it in the eighteenth century. Actually
only the ground floor facing the Gran Canal was built using
a white stone called "Pietra d'Istria": on the rear side there's
the garden. Building was bought in this century by american
collector Peggy Guggenheim, and became soon one of the most
important place for contemporary works. Exhibiting masterpieces
by Kandinsky, Pollock, Ernst, Chagall, Dalì and many others.
