The
Cornaro di S. Cassiano Chapel is on the left aisle of the Church
of S. Maria Mater Domini, near Ca' Cornaro
della Regina, the family palace on the Grand Canal that was
the residence of Queen Caterina Cornaro
(B-31) when she visited Venice from her countryside domain at
Asolo.
The chapel was designed by Jacopo Sansovino
and executed by Antonio Buora. On the floor are two anonymous
gravestones with Cornaro della Regina crowns. One bears the date
1537.
