Notes
The chapel is the remaining portion of the 15th century church, attributed to Coducci. This was the original burial site of Caterina Corner, Queen of Cyprus (d. 1510) who has since been transferred to San Salvatore. Also buried here are Marco Corner (d. 1511), father of Caterina whose tomb is a work by Tullio Lombardo, and Caterina's brother, Giorgio Corner (d. 1540). Giorgio’s tomb was created by Tullio Lombardo, and occupies the entire left wall of the Corner Chapel. The four corner columns supporting the cupola of the chapel are elaborately decorated with swags, garlands, putti, and inscriptions relating to the Cornaro family.
