, Fondamente Salute, Dorsoduro 1 - tel 041/522 5558 - After 45,000 people perished in the 1629 plague, the Venetian Senate promised to build a church in honour of the Virgin, hoping she could grant the city wish and stop the pestilence.
The church was christened salute which, in Italian, means 'health' and 'salvation'.
Some critics believe it is a talisman against evil or a portrait of a 16th century 'Elephant Man'; John Ruskin described it as "huge, inhuman and monstrous, leering in bestial degradation, too foul to be either pictured or described..."
