About Madonna della Salute
A Venetian festival on November 21st
The Festa della Madonna della Salute is one of the most heartfelt observances in the Veneto region and is celebrated every November 21st, the day of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It has its roots in the vow made by the Republic of Venice in 1630, to implore the end of the plague, and from Venice it spread throughout the Veneto territory.
