About This Tour

Wander the charming backstreets and squares of San Polo, then step inside the Gothic Frari Church to admire masterpieces by Titian and Bellini, with a stop at the open-air Rialto Market. A private walking tour of the San Polo neighborhood, stepping inside the Gothic Frari Church to see Renaissance masterpieces by Titian and Bellini and visiting the open-air Rialto Market where Venetians have bought fresh fish and fruit for centuries.

The Rialto has been Venice's commercial heart since 1097, when the Republic's government formally moved the city's trading activity to this stretch of the canal — building on activity that had already made the area, originally called "Rivo Alto" (high bank), the engine of Venice's economy since the 9th century. The open-air market still operating here today, selling fish and produce in roughly the same spot, is one of the oldest continuously running markets in Europe.

San Polo, the quieter neighborhood beyond it, holds the Frari — a Franciscan Gothic church begun in 1236 and largely rebuilt over the following two centuries into one of the most important churches in Italy, not just Venice. Titian is buried here under an elaborate marble tomb, and two of his own altarpieces hang inside: the "Assumption of the Virgin" (1516–1518) over the high altar, and the "Pesaro Madonna" nearby, notable for breaking convention by placing the Madonna off-center. Giovanni Bellini's 1488 triptych, painted for the Pesaro family decades earlier, hangs in the church's sacristy.
