Lonely Planet review

More simply dubbed La Pietà, this church is best known for its association with the composer Vivaldi, who was concertmaster here in the early 18th century. Look for the ceiling fresco by Tiepolo. The original church was located next door, and a few fragments of it are visible in the Hotel Metropole. For many years the church was the scene of regular concerts of Vivaldi's music, but the church and instruments are off limits while renovations take place.
