Venice - A Mistycal View of the Chiesa del Redentore Giudecca!
Considered one of the masterpieces of religious architecture of Andrea Palladio, was built by the Senate in 1577, as a votive temple consecrated to the Redeemer for the cessation of the plague in 1576.
The work represents one of the greatest architectural masterpieces of the Renaissance and was finished in 1592, after the death of famous architect (1580), from Proto Antonio da Ponte, who faithfully respected Palladio's design.
Redeemer is also the center of one of festivals from deepest Venice: The Feast of the Redeemer, which is held the third Sunday of July. The church, located on the island of Giudecca, was conceived as the final station for the solemn procession of the Redeemer, which crosses the Giudecca Canal over a pontoon bridge, built for the occasion.
The facade, which radiates away the charm of a relief, has the typical system with Palladian columns and broken pediments from the horizontal element that contains it and geometrizes.
The interior is whitewashed, has the majestic simplicity of the classical temple. The plant is improperly called a Latin cross, rather ingeniously developed in a series of linked spaces and functionally different uses (the classroom, the presbytery, the choir), related to each other as if it were laid out at the last place of the ceremony processional. The colonnade running along the walls of the nave and the chancel, surmounted by a dome. Altars, paintings of the Venetian school of the century. XVI-XVII. XVI-XVII.
The church and the sacristy are rich in works of great importance, which include the counter in a beautiful lunette depicting Old Peter La Vergine presenta a Gesù il Beato Felice da Cantalice. The Virgin presents Jesus in the Blessed Felix of Canterbury. The large hall and presbytery preserve significant works of Paolo Veronese and his workshop, Jacopo Tintoretto, Francesco Bassano, Paolo Piazza and Jacopo Palma the Younger.
The sacristy, besides the famous altarpiece of the Baptism of Christ (1560) by Paolo Veronese, also preserves precious reliquaries and devotional works related to the history of the church, including a table of Alvise Vivarini, works by Jacopo Palma il Giovane, Jacopo Francesco Bassano and Bissolo.

Venice (Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsja] ( listen), Venetian: Venexia [veˈnɛsja]) is a city in northeast Italy which is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks. It is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000 in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni of Mestre and Marghera; 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE) (population 1,600,000).
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century B.C. The city historically was the capital of the Venetian Republic. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man". Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.
The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.
The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history. It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.
