The Church of San Vidal (Chiesa di San Vidal) is located in the Venetian district of San Marco, near the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge. Originally founded in the 9th century, the current building was mostly rebuilt in the 18th century in the Baroque style.

The church's facade presents a simple yet elegant design with Roman columns and a triangular pediment, typical of Venetian Baroque architecture. Inside, the church impresses with its intricate frescoes and works by notable Venetian artists, including Giambattista Tiepolo, a master of the 18th century known for his vivid use of color and light.

San Vidal is often used for classical concerts due to its excellent acoustics. A particular highlight is its connection to Antonio Vivaldi, whose works are frequently performed here, as he had a close association with the church.

Although the church has undergone several restorations over the years, it remains a significant religious and cultural landmark in Venice. It attracts many visitors who appreciate both its impressive architecture and its artistic heritage.

Luogo

La Chiesa di San Vidal fu fondata nel 1084 durante il dogado di Vitale Falier. L'edificio venne ristrutturato verso la fine del XII sec. Un'ulteriore rifacimento della chiesa avvenne alla fine del XVII secolo con l'intenzione di trasformarla in un grandioso monumento a Francesco Morosini doge dal 1688 al 1694. Il progetto venne affidato ad Antonio Gasparri che presentò un disegno molto simile a quello della chiesa romana di Sant'Andrea al Quirinale.
