The Biblioteca Marciana is a piece of Jacopo Sansovino and changed into constructed and decorated to end up domestic to the Greek and Latin manuscripts that had been donated in 1468 to the Republic of Venice via Cardinal Bessarion. Some of those crucial manuscripts are Breviario Grimani of fifth century and the map of the world of Fra Mauro, similarly to the primary versions of Aldo Manuzio. The foyer on the first ground has an outstanding ceiling, Titian (Tiziano Vecelli) painting and known as "La Sapienza" (“expertise”), at the ceiling of the corridor you can appreciate twenty-one pix, works with the aid of seven artists selected by using Tiziano and Sansovino, 3 of the great recognized are from Paolo Veronese and on the walls are photographs of philosophers, works via Tintoretto and Veronese.
