History
The island was frequented since Roman times. In 1220, St. Francis landed here at his return from the Holy Land during the Fifth Crusade, and founded a hermitage here. After his death, the island was given to the Minorites by the Venetian patrician Jacopo Michiel, a relative of the patriarch of Grado, Angelo Barozzi, to found a monastery.
During the Austrian rule of Venice, the island, abandoned due to its unhealthy characteristics, was used as a powder depot. In 1858 it was donated to the diocese of Venice, who allowed the friars to refound a monastery here.

[de] San Francesco del Deserto
San Francesco del Deserto ist eine knapp 3,7 ha große Insel zwischen Burano und Sant’Erasmo in der Lagune von Venedig. Sie war in römischer Zeit bis etwa 650 bewohnt, musste dann aufgegeben werden, um im 13. Jahrhundert neubesiedelt zu werden. Das dortige Kloster geht auf einen legendenhaften Besuch des heiligen Franz von Assisi zurück.- [en] San Francesco del Deserto
