The altar is made of the peperino stone type. In the center of the church is a pink marble plaque where Mastro Fardo di Ugolino is buried.Ī second tomb is the one of Alberto Mastrio, lieutenant of the order of lawyers, died in 1644. The walls used to be painted with frescoes, but these have completely faded over the centuries. The candelabras that used to the altar are now on display in the Museo del Colle del Duomo. The Fondazione Carivit preserves the canvases that used to be there.

The basilica is one of the most importance churches in Venice and it can be seen on most postcards from Venice. It is commonly known as La Salute and is one the largest churches in Venice being a minor basilica. Santa Maria della Salute (Saint Mary of Health), commonly known simply as the Salute, stands on the narrow finger of Punta della Dogana, between the Grand. More specifically it faces the Pallazo Ducale on the opposite side of the Grand Canal. The interior is sparsely lit and extremely austere. The Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute is situated in the district of Dorsoduro in Venice. Several themes are depicted on the door, including the “14 Works of Mercy,” “Christ’s Descent into Purgatory” and “The Burial of the Dead.” The facade of the church is characterized by a magnificent marble entrance door designed by the architect Lorenzo Maitani (1337). When he died in 1350 he did have himself buried in the Santa Maria della Salute Church. However, the project failed and in 1324 the good man had the Ospedale del Monte built, a hospital for the poor and for the pilgrims who came down the Via Francigena to Rome.

With the shelter he tried to get women who had fallen on hard times back on the right path. He had the church built in 1320 to increase the importance of a shelter also founded by him. The history of the church is closely linked to that of the man who financed to its construction, the wealthy notary Mastro Fardo di Ugolino.
