Santa Maria della Consolazione / della Fava (Church)

Inside masterpieces in rococò style

 Santa Maria della Fava in Venice is officially dedicated to Santa Maria della Consolazione because it hosts a painting of the Virgin which was believed to be a miracoulous one (the church was built just for this reason).
However, it is normally referred to as Santa Maria della Fava (“of the bean”), or just La Fava church, probably because of a shop that anciently existed in its proximity and sold beans.
Among the artworks in the inside, the most important one is L’educazione della Vergine by Tiepolo.

Santa Maria della Fava church is at a short distance from Campo San Bortolo, on the Saint Mark side of Rialto bridge.
