Santa Lucia, Venice
Santa Lucia was a church in Venice, northern Italy, which was demolished in 1861. History According to Jacopo Sansovino, the church was founded in 1192 as a local parish dedicated to the Annunciation of Mary. According to the tradition, it changed name in 1279 after the drowning of some pilgrims going to venerate the body of St. Lucy, stolen by the Venetians in the Sack of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade and then in the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. It was thus decided to move the corpse to the church in the main island of Venice. In 1580, just before his death, Andrea Palladio had executed some drawings for a renovation of the interior, although the church was finished 30 years after and thus his intervention is disputed/ In 1806, after the Napoleonic invasion of northern Italy, the nuns then holding the church and its convent were expelled. In 1860, when the city was connected to the mainland's railway, the complex was destined to demolition. It was replaced by the ...
