If you’ve visited the Accademia Galleries, you’ll remember seeing Tintoretto’s Miracle of St Mark and St Mark’s Body Brought to Venice – both were originally housed in this scuola together with The finding of the body of St Mark which is now in the Brera in Milan.
The scuola was converted to a hospital under the Austrians in 1819, and remains Venice’s hospital to this day.
