"The Venetian Republic," writes Adam Gopnik, "built one of the greatest and most beautiful churches in the world, Santa Maria della Salute, to celebrate the end of one of their plagues in 1630."
Adam examines why today - as we attempt to put the pandemic behind us - any sense of exaltation is notable by its absence.
