Incredible! I always admire Lego buildings in (near) mini-fig scale that capture
all the details of the Real Thing.
It is better than MiniLand, since I can almost imagine getting enough of the
right bricks to build one - and have it still fit in my house, and it also takes
more creativitiy to capture the essence of a building at your model scale. The
domed roofs and architectural details really stand out.
Do you have any fears about the heat from the light bulb hurting the model?
(warping, color fade, etc.) Ive thought about lighting some of my models up -
but I didnt want to risk adverse effects from the bulb heat.
This goes on my list of Most Beautiful Lego Buildings Modeled from the Real
World
Keep on inspiring us with your excellent models!

I had some fears about the heat of the bulbs. There are two 25 watt bulbs inside
the Santa Maria. And at 1000steine-Land they sometimes where on for more then 4
hours. I lifted the dome time to time to check the temperatures. And it was ok,
nothing to fear about. Using only 25 watt was a good decision! There is quite
enough space between the bulbs and the first LEGO pieces. Next time I also could
use a fan?

Yep, Venice will be extended!
Ive uploaded some more pics of the Santa Maria della Salute (even pics of the
original one in Venice) and of my minifig Venice:
