Venice art tour to great museums

This is a walking tour in San Polo and Dorsoduro districts to discover Venice artistic heritage. My Venice art tour is perfect for art lovers and focuses on the visit to three magnificent museums:

• the huge Frari church treasures amazing sculptures and paintings. Frari is a contraction of “Franciscan Friars”;
• the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, St Roch Confraternity is called Tintoretto’s Sistine Chaper and offers an indeep connection between the Old and the New Testament.
• the Accademia Galleries offer the most important collection of Venetian paintings and counts with breathtaking art from XV and XVI centuries.

With this tour I want to share my passion for art and make you enjoy Venetian painters, famous for their range of colours, realistic rendering and local landscape.

An artistic journey

Venice art tour develops in a chronological order with the visit to the Frari, a huge Franciscan church that shrines unique funerary monuments and masterpieces by Titian. I will keep your attention alert while we move through the centuries, changing contests and meeting differtent artists.

St Roch

This Renaisance building is dedicated to St Roch whose healing powers were very important to Venetians. In fact thanks to his reliques they felt protected against the epidemics that repeatedly devastated the town
