Best Catholic church in Italia

S	Sasha is Sasha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Insane work of canvas painting over the ceiling. An interesting Chapel with a 14th century relief (to the left from the main door). Today the church practises an absolutelt gross way of monetising on every single work of art. While at the same time now allowing photos
I	Inna Bohdanova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic ceiling! Only 3 minutes to enjoy for free, but it worth to pay to see more?
J	Julia Gallego on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wish I could actually rate the church. Unfortunately the opening hours are wrong and they only open in the morning. Wasted time to come here. Beautiful neighborhood none the less.
S	Steven Wainwright on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The single, immense piece of ceiling art is absolutely breathtaking, very different than anything we'd seen in the many other cathedrals across Italy. Free entry, and some other outstanding works around the interior. Definitely worth a look.
K	Kent Hargrave on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It seems like no matter where you turn or where you go, there are gorgeous little churches around every corner. We found this one on a walking tour of Venice. Make sure the ladies bring shoals to cover their shoulders, they will not let you in with bare shoulders. The art work on the ceiling is incredible, The artwork in the alcoves and the sculptures are incredible. If you don't want to stand in long lines to look upon the works of the Renaissance artists, leave the well travel path and walk into any church.
A	Asiyah Noemi Koso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Near the lively Campo Santa Margherita there is a somewhat anonymous-looking church, since it has an incomplete facade: the Church of San Pantalon. This church, however, hides an incredible surprise inside… masterpiece. On the ceiling is the largest painting on canvas in the world, which depicts the Martyrdom and glory of San Pantalon, the work of Giovanni Antonio Fumiani. With its 443 square meters, it includes a total of forty scenes depicting the martyrdom and apotheosis of the doctor San Pantaleone. Giovanni Antonio Fumiani took more than 20 years to create this colossal and magic masterpiece, from 1680 to 1704 and a legend tells that the painter died falling from the scaffolding while he was putting the finishing touches ...The real Italian name is San Pantaleone, or also called San Pantaleo, who was a Christian doctor who suffered martyrdom during the fury and abuse of Diocletian, around 304 - 305. San Pantaleone is the patron saint of doctors and midwives, adored and loved in many Christian churches, also for having practiced the profession of doctor without asking for remuneration. Other notable works include Coronation of the Virgin by Antonio Vivarini and Giovanni d'Alemagna in the Chapel of the Holy Nail and St Pantalon healing a Boy, the last work by Veronese, originally commissioned for the high altar.

R	Richard Rosenbaum on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are something like 150 churches in Venice. This is one you want to see. Very plain on the outside, inside the ceiling is covered by perhaps the largest painting on canvas in the world! Titled "The Martyrdom and Glory of San Pantalon" it took Giovanni Antonio Fumiani more than 20 years to create. It covers 443 square meters. The other decorations in the church are also interesting. In particular, the main alter is outstanding.
