Santa Maria degli Scalzi, Baroque church near Santa Lucia Station, Venice, Italy
The single-nave Santa Maria degli Scalzi exhibits a white stone facade with paired columns, niches, and statues crafted by Bernardo Falconi.
Construction of the church started in 1672 under architects Baldassarre Longhena and Giuseppe Sardi, with financial support from Gerolamo Cavazza.
The interior holds twelve sibyl statues by Giuseppe Torretto and Giovanni Marchiori, drawing inspiration from the Sistine Chapel in Rome.
Located on the east bank of the Grand Canal, the church stands adjacent to the Ponte degli Scalzi bridge near Venice's main railway station.
The tomb of Ludovico Manin, the final doge of the Venetian Republic, rests within the Manini chapel of this sacred building.
