Lonely Planet review

The two towers of this stout church can be seen from all over southern Dorsoduro. The church was initially raised in the 7th century and for a long time was the focus of community life for the quarter's fishing families. The present church dates to the 17th century. The series of paintings inside above the main entrance has been attributed to the Guardi brothers, but no-one is sure which one - the vedutista (landscape artist) Francesco or his lesser-known elder brother Gian Antonio (1699-1760).
