Exterior of the historical Farmacia Morelli, also knows as Farmacia Alla Madonna, in business since 1500, in the sestiere of St Mark, Venice, Italy


Sources date this pharmacy since the 16th century. As per tradition, the pharmacy took on a fictional name, for which it was chosen the one "to the Madonna" in reference to the wooden effigy exposed outside, depicting precisely a Madonna with child, which is beautiful still today above the entrance.
