Santa Maria dei Domenicani, Soave

Santa Maria dei Domenicani is a small, 15th-century, Roman Catholic church, located inside the Scaliger walls near Piazza dell’Antenna in Soave, province of Verona, region of Veneto, Italy.

In 1659 the inhabitants of Soave requested permission from Venetian authorities to take possession of the site, pledging also to celebrate every year one hundred and two masses.

The church became a public oratory, which had been maintained by the local parish, who held the catechism and masses for young people.

The shades of different colors, green, ocher and white, alternate and create a particular architectural harmony.

The 15th-century chapels have arches in tufa, finely sculptured pilasters, frescoes and colored marbles.
