Talk:Santa Maria della Salute

Basilica?
I am not an architect, but I think a Basilica is quite different from the Salute, the plan of which is mainly central. I suggest to shift the article under the already existing Santa Maria della Salute title, and to refer to it in the text as a "church". --Stefano Remo 08:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, actually I had not read thoroughly the article Basilica, which gives a complete explanation. --Stefano Remo 21:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Origin of the name?
> Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute (Basilica of St Mary of Health/Salvation)

Is that correct? Shouldn't "salute" refer to a formal welcome, that is either the when the Lord's angel greeted Virgin Mary and telling her about her pregnancy or the meeting between St. Anna, mother of John the Baptist and the Virgin Mary? 82.131.210.162 (talk) 20:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

"Salute" is literally "health" in Italian, and in this case derives from the deliverance from plague & from the miracle working madonna. Albiart (talk) 04:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC) --Alberto Fernandez Fernandez (talk) 15:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
