And ’ Sheila Laurens, to you I dedicate this photo and am a hug! City of Venice-Basilica “s. Maria della Salute”
…La festa della salute is definitely that of impact less “touristy” and evokes a sincere religious sentiment.
The story …. In 1630, more than half a century after the terrible plague of 1575-77 the disease strikes back to Venice. The Doge is rated to erect a church health asking the intercession of the Virgin Mary for ending the plague.
…The design was entrusted to the young architect Baldassarre Longhena. the Basilica was consecrated in 1687.
… Today, thousands of people parading in front of the altar of the imposing Chiesa della Salute to perpetuate the secular gratitude constraint that links the city to the Virgin Mary.

La storia…Nel 1630 più di un mezzo secolo dopo la terribile pestilenza del 1575-77 il morbo di abbatte nuovamente su Venezia. Il Doge fa voto di erigere una Chiesa intitolata alla Salute chiedendo l’intercessione della Vergine Maria per porre fine alla pestilenza. A tutt’oggi migliaia di cittadini sfilano il 21 novembre davanti all’altare maggiore dell’imponente Chiesa della Salute a perpetuare il secolare vincolo di gratitudine che lega la città alla Vergine Maria. La basilica fu consacrata nel 1687.
