A year after the death of St. Francis, in 1227, some of his most faithful follwers came to Venice, where they lived on alms and passed the days working in the vestibules of the churches, particularly those of St. Lawrence and St. Silvester.
The fathers expanded the the convent at various times with the help of the faithful, and after 1250 they built a magnificent church called St. Mary the Glorious (later called the “Frari” from a corruption of Frati due to the numerous religious community that it housed) to a design by Nicolò da Pisa.
It seems to have been rebuilt into its present form in the 15th century, and it is certain that it was consecrated in 1492 by Pietro di Trani, the Bishop of Telesino.
