San Giorgio
-
The island of cypresses is separated from the main body of Venice by St Mark’s Basin and retains a quiet meditative air, unconcerned with the bustle in the city. An ancient vineyard and salt pans were replaced by a landmark church by Andrea Palladio, adjoining an elegant Benedictine monastery. It is now a scientific and cultural foundation and conference centre. At the rear is the open-air amphitheatre Teatro Verde, revived by the Biennale for performances of contemporary dance and music (see Biennale Art Exhibition).
