Campo Madonna dell'Ortofrom: Fisheye Venice
The Campo della Madonna dell'Orto and the Madonna dell'Orto Church are within a few minutes' walk of Sant'Alvise (see previous photo). Admission to the church is free with the Chorus Pass. The Venetian Gothic church is famous for its paintings by Tintoretto, who lived and worked in the Campo dei Mori nearby. If you're lucky, you may be able to attend a free or inexpensive concert here: We once discovered that the Madonna dell'Orto Church had been hired for a performance by a visiting college choir from the American state of Illinois.
