Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Carmini

The Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Carmini (English: Church of Saint Mary of the Carmelites) is located in the Dorsoduro District of Venice. The church was originally called Santa Maria Assunta and dates back to the 14th century.
==History==
Built in the 1300s, Santa Maria dei Carmini was founded by a group of women who made their livelihood stitching monastic aprons for the monks in a nearby monastery.Assassin's Creed II – Database: Santa Maria dei Carmini
Carmelites believed so much in these aprons, or scapulars, that the Carmelite Constitution stated it was a serious fault to sleep without one and saying Mass sans scapular resulted in automatic excommunication.
