Welcome to the room La Salute

In our Relais every room has a name and on the first floor is located room La Salute.

The Basilica della Salute was erected in Venice at Punta della Dogana. It was designed by Baldassare Longhena and represents one of the best expressions of Venetian Baroque architecture. The building was erected as a votive offering by the Venetians to the Virgin Mary for liberation from the plague of 1630-1631. On November 21st the feast of the Madonna della Salute is celebrated in Venice: the inhabitants of the city cross a bridge, originally made of boats and today floating, which connects San Marco to the basilica. The octagonal body of the building rests on a hemispherical dome, on whose lantern stands the statue of the Virgin; refined spiral volute act as buttresses. Through the symbolism of the number 8, the plant recalls the concept of Stella Maris, a name of Mary seen as the morning star who guides sailors across the sea.

Come to our Relais and visit Vicenza, a good base for discover all the Veneto.
