San Basso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Basso is a former church and concertoes hall in Venice, Italy.
According to the Venetian historian Flaminio Corner, the church was erected in the year 1079. It was rebuilt after fires in 1105 and again in 1661, the latter to a design by Baldassarre Longhena.
In 1806, during the Napoleonic occupation, the church was closed and sold to a private acquirer. In 1847 it was ceded to the Basilica di San Marco, which used it to store marbles and sculptures until, in the 1890s, it was restored as a meeting and concert hall.
