San Angelo degli Zoppi is a Gothic-style oratory or prayer hall, located in Campo Sant'Angelo in the Sestiere of San Marco, in Venice, Italy.

Altichiero da Zevio, also called Aldighieri da Zevio, was an Italian painter much influenced by Giotto, certainly through knowledge of the frescoes in the Cappella degli Scrovegni in Padua and quite possibly through having been trained in Florence by one of Giotto's pupils. Altichiero worked in Verona and Padua. Works by him survive in the church of Sant'Anastasia in Verona and in the Cappella di S Felice in the basilica of Sant'Antonio and the Oratorio di San Giorgio in Padua. His stature was compromised for a long time through his supposed collaboration with a certain Jacopo Avanzo or Avanzi, but study of the documents and historiography demonstrated Atichiero's authorship of the frescoes in both the Santo and the Oratorio di San Giorgio. It has been argued that the hand of an assistant can be seen in some early scenes in the Santo – although it was certainly Altichiero who was paid to decorate the chapel, and he received 792 ducats in the summer of 1379.

Ponte is the 5th rione of Rome, identified by the initials R. V, and is located in Municipio I. Its name comes from Ponte Sant'Angelo, which connects Ponte with the rione of Borgo.
