Italy, Venice - San Giorgio Maggiore church

The video explores the history and architecture of a church on an island in Venice, designed by Andreo Palladio. Built between 1566 and 1610, the church is a Renaissance basilica with a striking white marble facade. The island's first church dates back to 790, with significant rebuilding after a 1223 earthquake. Palladio's design addresses the challenge of adapting classical temple facades to Christian churches. The interior features large paintings by Tintoretto, emphasizing the Eucharist. The Benedictine monks maintained control over the church's chapels, unlike other Venetian churches.
