The Venetian church shares its traditional title with a sister sanctuary in Verona, distinguishing its ecclesiastical identity across northern Italy. Regular liturgical services continue inside the sanctuary, maintaining a quiet sacred interior separated from pedestrian activity along surrounding quays.
