San Vio, Medieval church in Dorsoduro district, Venice, Italy.

The former San Vio church includes pink marble columns and weathered brickwork across its two-story structure facing the Grand Canal.

The church, established around 950 AD, played a role in the 1310 Tiepolo conspiracy against Doge Gradenigo of the Venetian Republic.

The Doge's annual procession to San Vio on June 15 marked Saint Vitus Day, commemorating the failed plot against the Venetian leadership.

The structure transformed into a private residence in 1813 features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and large windows with one-way glass.

Marble elements from Baiamonte Tiepolo's demolished house were incorporated into the church structure following the uncovered conspiracy.
