Abstract
This reappraisal of the documents, with an analysis of two recently discovered drawings by Longhena, sheds light on the planning and design process for the church of S. Maria della Salute and provides more accurate measurements of the various projects. Changes to the sanctuary design, effected because of ceremonial requirements, are shown to be the result of a request by patrons in 1631. Ceremonial books of the Venetian Republic provide evidence of how the Salute was used on the feast day for which it was principally built and demonstrate the impact of ducal ceremony on architectural design in seicento Venice.
