Campo San Nicola da Tolentino, usually known as the Tolentini, is a popular spot for university students and workers who wish to relax after a long day with a prosecco on the steps of the church, looking out onto the open space before the canal. The inside of the church is one of the most lavishly and richly decorated in Venice; in 1780 however, the priests of the church handed over all their silverware to a mysterious man called ‘Romano’ who claimed to have invented a new method for cleaning jewellery. He was never seen again.
