For those who observe the church of the SS. Trinity walking along the bank of the canal Vena and does not know with precision the history could believe the appendix of the nearby St. James that majestic stands next to it. In fact, apart from the same location in the heart of the city, distinct is the history of the two religious complexes. In fact, the church, today dedicated to the SS. Trinity, and that the youngest probably have never seen open, due to a restoration that has lasted for years, was, in its sixteenth-century factory, known as the seat of the “Rossi” or the “Battuti”. Religious brotherhood born in Chioggia at the behest of Fr. Paolo Barbieri and with seat erected in the garden (“viridarium”), next to the Town Hall, then reduced to garbage storage. It was so that in the city, in 1528, the seat of the “Rossi” so called for the color of the robe that the confreres wore, a choice probably not random but motivated by the need to camouflage the color of the blood that escaped during the practice of self-flagellation to which the name “Battuti” is reiterated, portrayed with flagella in hand, on the sides of a penitential cross, above the entrance of the church. If the church was refabricated in its project by Andrea Tirali, of the ancient complex are still preserved today the oratory and the nearby bell tower that an inscription can be read from the inner courtyard date to 1634 although some scholars think it was from 1691. Attractive and singular is the perspective view that is presented to the eyes of those who the religious complex.
