Both Longhena and Massari have been credited for their involvement in the construction of this Baroque church built on Dorsoduro’s eastern end in the 17th century to give thanks for the city’s deliverance from a devastating plague. Dedicated to the Virgin of Good Health, the sumptuous white Istrian stone exterior dramatically contrasts with a rather understated octagonal interior.
Among the works contained within the luminous church are several by Tintoretto and Tiziano. Each year on November 21 the church is the site of a pilgrimage in which Venetians give thanks for having been spared from a plague.
