Description:
|
After the 15th century the funeral services of all of Venice's doges were held in San Zanipolo, and twenty-five doges are buried in the church. Giovanni Dolfin, also known as Giovanni Delfino or Delfin was the fifty-seventh Doge of Venice, appointed on August 13, 1356. Despite his value as general, during his reign Venice lost Dalmatia. He died of the plague in 1361. The monument is located in the Chapel of Pius V, and is in the form of a pensile (hanging) wall tomb, like a sarcophagus.
