Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli

The church of Miracoli is a very special church, under a historical-artistic point of view, but also under a sentimental point of view for the Venetians.
Unlike all the other churches in the city, which have all been overlapped by different styles, the church of Miracoli was practically untouched: founded later than the others, it was designed, built, and decorated by one only artist and his workshop, perhaps in one only stage or, at the most, in two very close phases. This Venetian architecture masterpiece planned by Pietro Lombardo, comparable for it's distinctiveness to an extraordinary treasure chest sculpted and redresssed of polychrome marble, is today entirely appreciated in merit of it's recent renovations (1997).
