The basilica was built by Baldassare Longhena and is made of stone and marmorino. Is located in Venice. The Count of Mantua took the black death to Venice, and he was interned on the island Lazzaretto Vecchio. There he came into contact with a carpenter and the infection spread throughout the city. On March 22, 1630, Giovanni Tiepolo made a promise: "I solemnly promise to erect a church in this city and dedicate it to the Virgin Mary, calling it 'Santa Maria della Salute'."
