The most renowned sculptors of the time decorated the facade here, paid with a legacy left by Doge Alvise Mocenigo II, who's buried in the center aisle. San Stae's painting collection is small, but it has one of the best assortments of works by Venice's early-18th-century masters, from Giambattista Tiepolo, Gregorio Lazzarini, and Sebastiano Ricci to the lesser known Giovanni Pellegrini, Giambattista Piazzetta, and Giambattista Pittoni.
