Dedicated to the Patron Saint of Midwives, the Church of Saint Pantalon (or more formally, Saint Pantaleone), is located a short walk from Venice’s Santa Lucia Station. Saint Pantaleone was a student of medicine, who was famously martyred in the 4th century for his Christian beliefs. The main reason to visit the church is to admire the magnificent art. To begin with, the entire ceiling is covered by a martyrdom scene comprising over 40 canvases, executed by Giovanni Fumiani in the late 1600’s. In addition, the interior of the church is adorned with many priceless artworks by Italian masters like Veneziano, Vivarini and Padovanino.
