Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute
The dome of the Basilica della Salute has characterized the scenario of St Mark's basin in Venice for more than three hundred years, an authoritative testimony of the high spirituality that marked the 17th century in Venice.
It was wanted by the Serenissima as a prayer and as thanksgiving to the Virgin Mother of God to preserve the city of Venice from the terrible plague of the 17th century. -
Teatro La Fenice
Teatro la Fenice: a name, a story.
As the phoenix rises from its ashes, so it was for this fantastic theatre risen twice from the flames and water.
