At the end of the 15th century, the influential Venetian family Badoer commissioned a carved choir screen for the church and a high-relief altarpiece for their family chapel. These fine marble carvings were most likely done by Pietro, Tullio, and Antonio Lombardo and their workshop. When in 1534 Jacopo Sansovino rebuilt the church, he incorporated the earlier Lombardo works into the new Badoer-Giustinian Chapel, located on the left of the presbytery.
