description
Built in 1492, the church of Santa Maria Formosa is an architectural masterpiece and marks the introduction of the full spatial vision embodied in the Tuscan Renaissance in Venice. The Latin cross plan, made up of three naves, respects the foundations of the 17th century church, built as a result of an appearance of the Virgin in the form of a magnificent matron. It also fits harmoniously with the previous Greek-cross plan, with a hemispherical dome, of the XI century. The result is an articulated space, strongly characterized by the striking centrality of the temple.
