This church was bombed in WW2 and the Mantegna frescoes have been pieced back together like a jigsaw. Extraordinary conservation work.

You'll probably pass by this on your way to the Cappella degli Scrovegni, so do yourself a favor and take 5-10 minutes and check it out. It has a solemn feel to it, but has some nice features. This is nothing like Basilica di Sant'Antonio da Padova, but has it's own charms.
Visited Chiesda degli Eremitani and found it to be still carrying a lot of historic memorabilia. It saddens the heart to see this chapel as a casualty of World War II. But I believe that anything of beauty can always withstand the test of time and that is this chapel reminds me of. Poignantly simple but still pretty.
