Photogravure of Madonna dell'Orto, a church in Venice, Italy, in the sestiere of Cannaregio. The church was erected by the now-defunct religious order the "Humiliati" in the mid-14th century, under the direction of Tiberio da Parma, who is buried in the interior. It was initially dedicated to St. Christopher, patron saint of travellers, but its popular name suggesting consecration to Holy Virgin comes from the following century, when an allegedly miraculous statue of the Madonna, commissioned for the Church of S. Maria Formosa but rejected, was brought to the Church from the nearby orchard (orto in Italian) where it had languished.
This print originates from 'Calli e Canali - Streets and Canals in Venice edited by Ferdinand Ongania'. Published circa 1890.
