NOTES: This drawing was made either by Visentini or one of his assistants. The existing church collapsed in 1584 and it was rebuilt to the designs of Smeraldi, a pupil of Palladio (although the church has at times been attributed to Palladio himself despite the fact the collapse occurred three years after Palladio's death). The church is unusual in having two similar facades, one facing the campo and one the canal.
