The abbreviation for the province should have been TN (Trento).

Orvieto's chiesa di San Giovenale (begun 1004) is thought to have been that city's former cathedral. Here are a couple of exterior views:

The locality of San Giovenale near Blera (VT) in northern Lazio took its name from a medieval chapel dedicated to J., now a ruin. Herewith some views:

Not at all a ruin is the San Giovenale Triptych (1422) in the pieve di San Pietro at Cascia di Reggello (FI) in Tuscany. Attributed to Masaccio, it is thought to have been commissioned for Florence's chiesa di San Giovenale. An English-language description with an expandable view of the object is here (J. at left, next to St. Anthony Abbot):
