The churches of San Giacopo dell'Orio, San Giovanni in Bragora, the Carmine, and one or two more, furnish the only important examples of it. Paul and the Frari began rapidly to affect the Venetian-Arab school.
Which he did, and they are San Giovanni in Bragora, and San Zaccaria. "Then appeared to him the apostles of Christ, wishing, they also, to have a church in this new city: and they committed it to him that where he should see twelve cranes in a company, there he should build it."
