St Mary of the Rosary Church - a photo on Flickriver

(Italian: Santa Maria del Rosario, commonly known as I Gesuati)
The religious order of the Jesuates had a presence in Venice by 1390. Its members were known as I poveri Gesuati (the poor Jesuates) because they frequently called on the name of Jesus; they had no connection with the Jesuits (I Gesuiti), whose church is in the north of Venice.
In 1493, they commenced the building of a small church on the plot. In 1669 their property was put up for auction and acquired by the Dominicans. The small church was not large enough for the Dominicans and they decided to build a new church. They engaged the Venetian architect Giorgio Massari. The funding for the church was successful so it enabled the Dominicans not only to build a magnificent church, but to embellish it with the work of the most famous painters and sculptors of the day.
The first stone was laid in 1726. The four niches in the front facade have large statues (made in 1736/37) representing the four cardinal virtues: Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance. The church was consecrated in 1743.

Venice is a unique artistic achievement. The city is built on 118 small islands. Venice also has one of the highest concentrations of great monuments such as Piazza San Marco with the cathedral and Palazzo Ducale.
It was from Venice that Marco Polo (1254-1324) set out in search of China, Sumatra, India and Persia.
The occurrence of exceptional high waters poses nowadays a significant threat to the protection and integrity of Venice lagoon and historic settlements.
