A	Asiyah Noemi Koso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The church is one of the oldest in Venice because it was founded in the 10th century then in the 14th it was completely rebuilt, in 1659. a monumental stone facade was "applied" to a design by Clemente Molli and later, at the end of the 19th century, it underwent heavy alterations. The church of the Abbazia della Misericordia is located in the Cannaregio district, overlooking the homonymous square. The first name of the church was Santa Maria di Val Verde, from the original name of the island on which it was built. The history of the church is linked to the Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Misericordia, which since the 14th century built two of its own buildings nearby, a hospital and houses. The external stone façade is structured around a giant central order dominated by an arched tympanum and surrounded by two trabeated wings. The top of the pediment is crowned by the statue of the Virgin, while the edges of the wings are pinecone acroteri. On the high protruding bases of the giant order there are two allegorical statues (the Charity and the Fortress), above the portal, in front of the rose window, the bust of Gasparo Moro accompanied by a scroll and sorrowful cherubs seated on books. All the sculptures are the work of Clemente Molli. Interestingly, The church was used in 1979 for the shooting of the two films "Moonraker - Space Operation", part of the James Bond series. In 1988 the building was used for the shooting of "Nosferatu a Venezia".
