Il Redentore was built as a votive church in thanksgiving for deliverance from a major outbreak of the plague that decimated Venice between 1575 and 1576, in which some 46,000 people (25–30% of the population) died.

The facade was simplified by the architect Jappelli, who declined to add two bell-towers. The new church was consecrated in 1884. Stained glass windows were added in 1922. The organ dates 1926. Some describe the interior as resembling Palladio's Venetian church of Il Redentore.

The dome is supported on a drum which has rectangular windows cut into it to let light into the building. The church's campanile is one of the most precarious in ...
He designed the reconstruction of the church of San Giovanni Nuovo (San Zaninovo), built 1751–1762. [1] He boasted that this church was the Redentore redento, meaning "redeemed redeemer" because it corrected the errors Lucchesi found in Palladio's church of Il Redentore. San Zaninovo's facade was never completed.
