construction of santa lucia railway station began in 1860 under the austrian empire. in order to make room for both the station building and its forecourt, a convent and the church of santa lucia were demolished in 1861. the station in turn took up the name of this church.









































the current station building is one of the few modernist buildings facing the grand canal. it is the result of a series of plans started up by the rationalist architect angiolo mazzoni in 1924 and developed by him over the next decade.
