# april in venice...part II

 12 April 2013

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.

[![sanlorenzo-exterior](https://info.cletile.com/hs-fs/file-3974460479-jpg/blog-files/sanlorenzo-exterior.jpg?width=1000&height=667&name=sanlorenzo-exterior.jpg)](https://info.cletile.com/hs-fs/file-3974460479-jpg/blog-files/sanlorenzo-exterior.jpg)

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](http://www.bellafiguracommunications.com/).

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...
