The church of the former Benedictine female monastery Santi Cosma e Damiano occupies an outstanding position in Venice. This title argues that from its foundation in 1481 to its dissolution in 1805, Santi Cosma e Damiano was a reform convent, and that its nuns employed art and architecture as a means to express their specific religious concerns.
