46 San Moise’s Façade Carvings in Venice, Italy

There is a long history of churches on this site. The first was built at the end of the 8th century, the second was created by Moisè Venier in 947 and the current one, finished in 1632, is dedicated to Moses and named Chiesa di San Moisè. The San Moise was funded by Vincenzo Fini. In a tribute to himself, he commissioned this elaborate carving over the church’s main portal. His bust sits on top of the obelisk which is supported by two camels.
