Dedicated to Saint John

 San Zaninovo church is dedicated to Saint John: its real name is actually San Giovanni Nuovo, mispronounced in Venetian. In order to distinguish it from other churches with the same dedication, this one was also known as San Giovanni in Oleo (“in oil”), referring to the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist.
Rebuilt in XVIII century, its facade remained unfinished (it is supposed to have been modelled on the Redentore).

San Zaninovo church is not far from Saint Mark and from Riva degli Schiavoni.
