A relatively
modern Madonna della Misericordia on Fondamenta Ospedaleto at the
entrance of Corte Sabion, across from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection
in Dorsoduro. Two worshipers are protected under Mary's mantle. A crown
adorns the top of a scalloped field of which the Madonna occupies the
left half. The emblem of the Scuola della Misericordia is at the
bottom. Dorsoduro, next to 373.
How
to get there. From
the Salute vaporetto stop, cross Ponte de l'Abazia, cut across Campo
San Gregorio, go over Rio de la Fornace on Ponte San Gregorio to
Campiello Barbaro. Exit the campiello by the fondamenta and you will be
on Fondamenta de l'Ospedaleto. The Madonna is a few meters away above
an archway.
