Stamp (Photo Blurb): "Cette eglise fut commencee premierement par Giusti- / niano Partecipazio (828) et achevee par son frere Giovanni. / Apres un incendie en 977, toute l'eglise fut reformee par / le Doge Pietro Orseolo, le Saint, et achevee par le Doge / Domenico Selvo (1071). Vitale Falier la fit consacrer en 1094. La Facade est une histoire des trimphes venitiens, le style / est byzantin et s'approche a la facade ancienne de S.ta So - / phie. La part inferieure est composee de deux ordres de colonnes, qui forment cinq grand niches avec les portes. / Dessus un galerie, ou un single file de colonnes supporte / cinq arcs avec les quatre chevaus au milieu.

Stamp (Photo Blurb): "Begun by Giustiniano Partecipazio (828), this church / was finished by his brother Giovanni. Nearly destroy by / a fire (977), the Doge Pietro Orseolo rebuilt it, and under / Doge Domenico Selvo (1071) it was fully completed by / unknown architects. The style is byzantine and nearly like / the old facade of S.ta Sophia at Constantinople. It repre- / sents a history of Venetian triumphs. The lower part is / composed by two orders of columns, forming five large niches / with the portals. Above runs a gallery, spanned by five / other arches, supported by a single row of pillars. The / statues, cuspes, pinnacles and leaf decoration belong to the / 14th and 15th century." on mount verso at center right in black ink.
