Gesuati (Santa Maria del Rosario)

See stunning frescoes that you will never forget.

An elegant 18th-century Dominican church in the Sestiere of Dorsoduro, the Santa Maria del Rosario (Gesuati) is a wonder to visit. The classical style of its façade is embellished with statues representing the four cardinal virtues: Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance.


See the impressive interior where its original layout and Rococo decoration have been exceptionally well-preserved. Be captivated by the grand highlight, which is the large fresco on the ceiling representing the Institution of the Rosary by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Gaze at the Virgin Mary in the cloudy, blue skies, surrounded by angels and cherubs, as the Christ child holds out the rosary to St. Dominic; your experience here will truly be an unforgettable one.
