San Zanipolo and the campanile of Santa Maria Formosa, Venice
San Zanipolo is the name in Venetian dialect of the Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo, a church in Venice, Italy. Built in brick in the Italian Gothic style, its construction began in 1333 and was completed in 1430. It is the principal Dominican church in Venice. After the 15th century, the burial service of every Doge was held here, and 25 Doges are buried in the church.
In front of it can be seen the white marble campanile (and, to its right, the dome) of the church of Santa Maria Formosa. This was built in 1492 by Renaissance architect Mauro Codussi.
