Santa Maria della Visitazione is a church in the Dorsoduro district of Venice. It secretly housed the tomb of the Assassin Leonius.[1]
Database Entry
Located on the waterfront, Santa Maria della Visitazione is the second church in Venice with that same name, making it easy to end up at the wrong wedding.
The church was founded in the 1400s and was dedicated to St. Jerome, the patron saint of librarians and encyclopaedia writers, but then, was rededicated to the Virgin's visit with Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, perhaps because visits are usually accompanied by food and are quite simply more fun.[1]
