Santa Maria della Salute is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica located at Punta della Dogana in the Dorsoduro sestiere of the city of Venice.
It stands on the narrow finger of Punta della Dogana, between the Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal, at the Bacino di San Marco, making the church visible when entering the Piazza San Marco from the water.
In 1630, Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health.
The dome of the Salute was an important addition to the Venice skyline and soon became emblematic of the city, inspiring artists such as Canaletto, J. M. W. Turner, John Singer Sargent, and the Venetian artist Francesco Guardi.
The Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo is a small palazzo in Venice, Italy, best known for its external multi-arch spiral staircase known as the Scala Contarini del Bovolo.The twenty-eight-metre high cylindrical tower containing the spiral staircase is chromatically characterised by the alternation of red cotto bricks and white Istria stone unravelling in the six floors of loggias curling up the bovolo’s eighty steps.
Teatro La Fenice is an opera house in Venice.
It is one of the most famous and renowned landmarks in the history of Italian theatre and in the history of opera as a whole.La Fenice Opera House opened its history on May 16, 1792 on the occasion of La Festa della Sensa. It has risen two times from its ashes and water. Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Britten, Nono, Maderna and in recently times Kagel, Guarnieri, Mosca, Ambrosini, Perocco have composed numerous works performed here for the first time. The Malibran Theater is our second home. It was designed by Tommaso Bezzi. It was built in place of the Marco Polo residence, destroyed after a violent fire that occurred in 1597 and was inaugurated during the carnival of 1678. In 1992 it was acquired by the Venice Municipality.
