The view from the Salute.


Venice, Italy, April 1984. Here is how the entry to the Piazza San Marco looks from the Punta della Doganathe "point" of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. Venetians built the Salute to thank the Virgin Mary for having spared the city from a seventeenth-century outbreak of the plague.
