The San Basegio Area, Venice, Italy
The book "Venice - Churches of Memory" states that the Church of San Basilio was built in the tenth century by the Basei organization [in today's San Basegio Area]. It was damaged by fire in 1105 and by an earthquake in 1347. The church was rebuilt in 1370 and further repaired during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. S. Basilio was closed to worship in 1810 and pulled down in 1824. The area is now partially cleared and used by a benevolent foundation.
