Fodor's Review:
Intimately bound to Rialto Market, this church has storefronts for a facade and the altars built by market guilds -- poultry sellers, messengers, and fodder merchants. During San Giovanni Elemosinario's restoration, workers found frescoes by Pordenone (1484-1539) that had been painted over centuries earlier (as well as the bones of 80 unidentified people). Look for Titian's St. John the Almsgiver and Pordenone's Saints Catherine, Sebastian and Roch, which were returned after 30 years by Gallerie dell'Accademia, a rarity for Italian museums.
