History

This church was founded in the 10th century by two families and originally dedicated to Saint Christina. The church was rededicated in the 12th century to Maria Mater Domini. In the 16th century, the church was demolished and rebuilt to reflect the façade seen today. In the 1980's the church's roof and several paintings were restored by Venice in Peril.
