This picture shows the cemetery island of San Michele with its early Renaissance church, designed by Mauro Codussi in 1469, at center. Flanking the church are the domed Cappella Emiliani and the Gothic bell tower on one side and the (former) Camaldolensian monastery on the The Island of San Michele, Venice 43
