Lonely Planet review for Chiesa di San Lio

Giandomenico Tiepolo sure did know how to light up a room. If you find this 11th-century church open, duck into the atmospheric gloom and as your eyes adjust to the light, look up at Tiepolo’s magnificent ceiling fresco, The Glory of the Cross and St Leon IX. On your left by the main door is Titian’s Apostle James the Great, but this church is better known for another Venetian artist: the great vedutista (landscapist) Canaletto, who was baptised and buried in this, his parish church.
