Summary edit

Description

San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the islands of Venice, northern Italy, lying east of the Giudecca and south of the main island group. The San Giorgio Monastery was established in 982. Giovanni Morosini drained the island's marshes next to the church to get the ground for building, and founded the Monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore, and became its first abbot. In the early 19th century the monastery was almost suppressed and the island became a free port with a new harbour built in 1812. It is now the headquarters of the Cini Foundation arts centre, known for its library and is also home to the Teatro Verde open-air theatre.
