Lo Squero

Teatro Verde was designed in 1952 by Luigi Vietti and Angelo Scattolin and built with materials left over from the Island's restoration. Reached by tree-lined paths that link the theatre from the core of the park to the rest of the Island, its lower and upper circles seat 1484 spectators on stepped rows of white Vicenza stone divided by box-hedges, according to ancient Roman and Greek theatres and Veneto teatri di verzura.

The church of Ateneo of San Basso was built in 1076 in honor of San Basso and is one of the oldest churches in Venice. After the fires of 1105 and 1661 the church was built again. The simple elegance and classic admired today is probably attributable to Baldassarre Longhena, who worked at the time at the Basilica of San Marco. In the XIX century the church was robbed of its altar and its decorations and in the years to come was first sold to a private and later transformed into a laboratory for marbles and sculptures. In the fifties of the '900 the building was rebuilt and adapted to the conference room. The Ateneo of San Basso is now deconsecrated former church located in the heart of Venice, Piazzetta dei Leoncini, to the left of the Basilica of San Marco. Since its reopening in 2002 is considered one of the most important cultural centers of the city.
