Chiesa di San Stefano - Venice, Italy
Interior Facade



The equestrian figure of General Domenico Contarini, sculpted between 1644 and 1650, dominates the entrance wall. The Contarini family was distinguished by military men and doges. During the time that Domenico Contarini lived, Venice was occupied with a struggle for the large island of Crete against the Turks.
