Chiesa di San Zulian: A Testament to Art and History

The Chiesa di San Zulian, established in 829, is not just a church but a historical narrative carved in stone and canvas. Funded by the physician Tomasso Rangone, it reflects both medical history and artistic achievement.

The church underwent a significant transformation under the design of Andrea Sansovino. Rangone, famed for his lucrative syphilis cures, is immortalized in bronze above the portal. Inside, the painted ceiling and artworks—including Veronese's 'Dead Christ and Saints' and pieces by Palma il Giovane—add to its cultural significance.
