The Chiesa degli Scalzi, or Santa Maria di Nazareth, is the Venice church of the Discalced Carmelites, near Venezia Santa Lucia station in Cannaregio. The infobox credits Baldassare Longhena, and Giuseppe Sardi built the facade from 1672 to 1680, financed by the aristocrat Gerolamo Cavazza. The infobox gives completion as 1680.
The infobox says Baroque, and the text calls the facade Venetian Late Baroque. The article gives no structural materials or dimensions, but mentions a black jasper altarpiece with four columns and a Carrara marble statue in the Mora chapel, and a carved, gilded organ above the door.
An Austrian bombardment from the mainland on October 24, 1915 destroyed the nave frescoes by Tiepolo. Ettore Tito painted replacement canvases and frescoes from 1929 to 1933, and surviving Tiepolo fragments are in the Gallerie dell'Accademia.
