In 1606, the Jesuits were expelled from Venice. They returned in 1700 to rebuild, and chose a site in the north of Venice. After tearing down an old church, they built Santa Maria Assunta (1715-1729). The designer was Domenico Rossi. Today, the church is known as the Gesuiti, and this sumptuous edifice with its Baroque exterior and ornate interior reflects the favored design of this religious order.
