description
The church of Gesuati, a unique convent of the eighteenth century, was built between 1726 and 1735 for the Dominicans, to replace the small church that still stands next to it, that had become too small for the faithful . The Dominicans took over the Gesuati (hence the name of the church) in 1668, when that order was suppressed. The interior of the building delivers great harmony: what strikes particularly the eye are the splendid ceiling frescoes painted by Giambattista Tiepolo, representing The apparition of the Virgin Mary to St. Dominic, The institution of the Rosary and the glory of St. Dominic and various monochromes
