Chiesa Convento Padri Redentoristi (Church Convent of the Redemptorist Fathers), Venice

Venice's Padri Redentoristi complex, consisting of a church, house, and oratory, originally belonged to the Congregation of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri. Acquired from its last resident, Father Palmieri, the art-rich house compises a library with incunabula, books from the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, a collection of "oratorios", and a historic organ often sought after for performing Baroque music. The house engages in activities such as confessions, preaching, and hospitality, as well as holding pastoral responsibility for the Filipino immigrant community in the Lagoon and mainland areas.

Casanova's Venice

Giacomo Casanova is usually introduced as history’s most famous seducer-but that shorthand misses the point.
