Dorsoduro
- Artist: Paolo Caliari
- Location: Stories of Saint Sebastian
- Date: 1558
From the barco, the particular suspended choir designed by Scarpagnino, we can admire the frescoes created by Veronese on the high walls of the nave, which depict the stories of Saint Sebastian. A particular effect is created by the invention of placing the Martyr, with his hands bound, on the right-hand wall looking at the executioners, who fire their arrows at him from the left-hand wall.
