urban decay- venetian style.
prior to last year's venice biennale, a visit to the church of san lorenzo would have been a teetering waltz through artifactual debris; broken tiles, items of sacrament and bones.
yup, bones.
today, part II of tile envy's "april in venice" series is a visit to this 9th (yes 9th!) century structure as shared via joann locktov of bella figura communications.
and this tale is one that warms my heart in so many ways. it's a modern-day miracle. an undertaking that was the advent of an artistic spirit and an artistic budget. you see? art has the ability to pay off in oh-so many ways...
