ough small, possessing
the precious statue of St. Simeon, above noticed, II. 309. The rare
early Gothic capitals of the nave are only interesting to the
architect; but in the little passage by the side of the church,
leading out of the Campo, there is a curious Gothic monument built
into the wall, very beautiful in the placing of the angels in the
spandrils, and rich in the vine-leaf moulding above.

SIMEONE, PICCOLO, CHURCH OF ST. One of the ugliest churches in Venice or
elsewhere. Its black dome, like an unusual species of gasometer, is
the admiration of modern Italian architects.

SOSPIRI, PONTE DE'. The well known "Bridge of Sighs," a work of no
merit, and of a late period (see Vol. II. p. 304), owing the interest
it possesses chiefly to its pretty name, and to the ignorant
sentimentalism of Byron.

SPIRITO SANTO, CHURCH OF THE. Of no importance.

STEFANO, CHURCH OF ST. An interesting building of central Gothic, the
best ecclesiastical example of it in Venice. The west entrance is much
later than any of the rest, and is of the richest Renaissance Gothic,
a little anterior to the Porta della Carta, and first-rate of its
kind. The manner of the introduction of the figure of the angel at the
top of the arch is full of beauty. Note the extravagant crockets and
cusp finials as signs of decline.

STEFANO, CHURCH OF ST., at Murano (pugnacity of its abbot), II. 33. The
church no longer exists.

STROPE, CAMPIELLO DELLA, house in, II. 266.

T

TANA, windows at the, II. 260.

TIEPOLO, PALAZZO, on the Grand Canal. Of no importance.

TOLENTINI, CHURCH OF THE. One of the basest and coldest works of the
late Renaissance. It is said to contain two Bonifazios.

TOMA, CHURCH OF ST. Of no importance.

TOMA, PONTE SAN. There is an interesting ancient doorway opening on the
canal close to this bridge, probably of the twelfth century, and a
good early Gothic door, opening upon the bridge itself.

TORCELLO, general aspect of, II. 12; Santa Fosca at, I. 117, II. 13;
duomo, II. 14; mosaics of, II. 196; measures of, II. 378; date of, II.
380.

TREVISAN, PALAZZO, I. 369, III. 212.

TRON, PALAZZO. Of no importance.

TROVASO, CHURCH OF ST. Itself of no importance, but containing two
pictures by Tintoret, namely:

1. _The Temptation of St. Anthony._ (Altar piece in the chapel on the
left of the choir.) A small and very car
