One of the largest churches in Venice, Santi Giovanni e Paolo was built after Doge Jacopo Tiepolo had a dream about white birds flying over the site. He donated the land on which the church was built in 1246 to the Dominicans. The current Italian church was completed in 1430.Assassin's Creed II – Database: Santi Giovanni e Paolo
