I Gesuati

Santa Maria del Rosario (English: St Mary of the Rosary), commonly known as I Gesuati, is an 18th century Dominican church in the Sestiere of Dorsoduro, on the Giudecca canal in Venice. The church and almost all its sculpture and paintings were created within the same thirty year period. Construction began in 1725, the church was consecrated in 1743, and the last sculptural decoration was in place by 1755.
