TELECOM FUTURE CENTRE (www.futurcentre.telecomitalia.it)

In the heart of Venice few steps from Ponte di Rialto, there is a “Campo” called Campo San Salvador. Near San Salvador Church is located the Telecom Future Centre, built in the XI Century as the monastery devoted to The Saviour, was reconstructed several times in romanic and gothic style until its actual shape during the Renaissance. Among artists who worked in the complex we can number Jacopo Sansovino and Tiziano who painted the Annunciation in the near church.
