Access to the church of the Madonna della Salute is being regulated so that no more than 60 people are inside the church at any given time, and the celebration of the festa is being held in churches around the city so as to lessen the crowd at the main site, but the Festa della Madonna della Salute is taking place this year--though without the traditional temporary footbridge across the Grand Canal.

Without candle sellers on the Campo Salute and without candy and balloon sellers in the Calle dell'Abbazia,I suppose? Thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteThere were in fact two or three tables of candle sellers, but I understand the candles were not lit as usual, you simply left them off in the to be lit at a later time, I believe. But no candy and balloons!
DeleteAnd to think that this time last year..... Several times we've been there to watch the footbridge being assembled, and dismantled. It seems like such a different time, now...
ReplyDeleteYes, it was strange to not see the bridge at all, Ella.
