Sant’Angelo square in Venice

Campo Sant’Angelo is located in the historic center of Venice, in the San Marco district.

Buildings of historical architectural importance overlook it, such as: Palazzo Trevisan Pisani, Palazzo Gritti Morosini, Palazzo Duodo, and the Monastery of Santo Stefano.

On the western side, there is a small Oratorio dell’Annunziata, wanted by the Morosini family in the 10th century.

Where there is the Monastery of Santo Stefano (today headquarters of the Agenzia delle Entrate), there was also a church of San Michele Arcangelo and the annexed bell tower. This one had a somewhat eventful history. It collapsed for the first time back in 1347 due to a violent earthquake.

It was rebuilt but in 1445 it was noticed that the bell tower was beginning to lean towards Campo Sant’Angelo giving the idea of ​​falling.

An architect from Bologna, Bartolomeo di Fioravante known as Aristotle, intervened to remedy the situation. He began to dig on the opposite side of the slope so that he could regain the original stability. After only one night it fell, partially destroying the church and the nearby monastery.
