Santa Maria della Salute
Santa Maria della Salute se alza en Venecia, junto a la Punta della Dogana, donde se encuentran el Gran Canal y el canal de la Giudecca. Desde el agua, su gran cúpula aparece entre las primeras imágenes de la ciudad. La basílica católica presenta una planta octogonal, dos cúpulas y dos campanarios posteriores. Baldassare Longhena la diseñó en estilo barroco como ofrenda tras la peste de 1630.
La construcción comenzó en 1631 y terminó en 1681 sobre una plataforma sostenida por cerca de un millón de pilotes de madera. La piedra de Istria y el marmorino cubren una arquitectura cuya fachada reúne santos, profetas, evangelistas y Judith con la cabeza de Holofernes. Ocho capillas rodean el espacio interior, donde distintos colores de piedra destacan sus elementos arquitectónicos. Luca Giordano pintó tres altares con escenas de la vida de María, mientras Tiziano y Tintoretto aportaron obras a la iglesia y la sacristía.
El altar mayor conserva la icono bizantina Panagia Mesopantitissa, una Madonna con Niño procedente de Creta. Tiziano pintó El descenso del Espíritu Santo, y Tintoretto incluyó su autorretrato en Las bodas de Caná. Cada 21 de noviembre, una pasarela provisional cruza el Gran Canal durante la Festa della Madonna della Salute. La cúpula convierte esta iglesia votiva en una silueta reconocible del horizonte veneciano.
