Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute (Alberoni)

The Church of Santa Maria della Salute serves the Alberoni community at the southern end of the Lido. Built in 1931, it is a modest parish church whose setting links the village to the island's coastal landscape.

Why it matters

The parish's dedication to the Madonna della Salute connects Alberoni with Venice's longstanding devotion to the Virgin of Health. The church belongs to the modern phase of parish-building on the Lido.

What to notice

The church is a restrained twentieth-century building. Its parish furnishings were added between 1980 and 1990, and the interior was restored between 2000 and 2010. Its simple scale reflects the character of Alberoni and its role as a local religious centre.

Context and history

The diocesan census records the church's design in 1930–31 and construction in 1931. Later changes included furnishings for the presbytery in the 1980s and an interior restoration in the first decade of the twenty-first century. The parish is part of the Patriarchate of Venice and the history of settlement at the southern end of the Lido.
