San Giovanni Elemosinario
San Giovanni Elemosinario is a church of Venice, northern Italy, dedicated to Saint John the Almsgiver.
This church was founded in 1071, and was completely destroyed by the disastrous Rialto fire in 1514. The church was rebuilt by Antonio Abbondi called Scarpagnino. The painter Antonio Vassilacchi worked here in the 16th century. Nestled into the dense area near the Rialto Market.
The altarpiece on the high altar depicts St. John the Almsgiver by Titian; the right apse chapel houses Saints Catherine, Sebastian and Roch by il Pordenone.
