A small islet north of [[Venice]], [[Isola di San Michele|San Michele]] was for a long time the site of a lone monastery and a [[church]], a mysterious place visited only by some fishermen and travelers. When fire destroyed the church, this led to the construction on a new one, completed in 1469, which is considered as the first [[Renaissance]]-style building in Venice. Its nicely adorned façade, made of white {{Wiki|Istria}}n stone, attracted attention and the church became a reference and an iconic location of Venice. Centuries later, the island housed the official cemetery of the city, for sanitary issues. It then became known as the Island of the Dead. | A small islet north of [[Venice]], [[Isola di San Michele|San Michele]] was for a long time the site of a lone monastery and a [[church]], a mysterious place visited only by some fishermen and travelers.
