Foreign Communities in Venice; Social Participaion, Culture and Arts
The Venetian economy has always been based on commerce and trade. Foreign entities traveled to Venice for business and long-term economic agreements were signed between the Most Serene Republic and nations such as Albany, Greece, Croatia, and the Ottoman Empire. Venice was the central European city where all exchanges were held and the Rialto area was
an emporium all the year long. Lessons in Venice will focus on three foreign communities: the Armenians, the Greeks and the Dalmatians. First, you will visit the Armenian island of San Lazzaro and the Zenobio Palace. Second, you will focus our attention on the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George and Byzantine Icons Museum. The third lesson will focus on Dalmatian School dedicated to Saint George. The famous painter “Carpaccio” worked there creating one of the most complete and interesting pictorial Renaissance cycles in the early XVI century.

Venice to study the Byzantine heritage.

The State of People, Grand Schools and Minor Ones in Venice
The concept of “schools” in Venice might be translated as guilds or brotherhoods. Citizens, not noblemen, handled management of the schools and pictorial decorations of their buildings. Competition among the numerous Venetian schools contributed to the development of incredible historical pictorial cycles. Some of them can still be found in their original settings. Renaissance paintings and architecture are the focus of our course, but additionally, you will also discover how the schools operated and their political roles in Venetian society. Lessons will be at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco,
Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, Scuola Grande di San Marco, Scuola dei Calegheri, and the Scuola dei Carmini.
Lessons per week: 15 (50 minutes per lesson)
Festivities, Celebrations and Rituals in Venice
This Itinerarte language an art history course will focus on the many festivities celebrated in Venice all year round. Some of them are connected to the celebration of a saint (such as the 16th of August: Saint Roch’s day) or to a special historical event (such as March 25th the birth of Venice or the end of a plague) or also to devoted sacred relics. To remember such special days in the calendar, churches and Grand Schools were built and consecrated to
celebrate the festivities over the centuries. This course will follow thematic itineraries such as ceremonies to honor the end of the plague or visits to Santa Maria della Salute and the Redeemer Churches. Other visits will focus on Madonna dell’Orto and Saint Alvise churches.

Titan, Tintoretto, Veronese and Palladio
The epoch of the second Venetian Renaissance began with the publication of Jacopo
de Barbari's Bird's Eye View: an extraordinary work that depicted Venice as perfection and truth, as well as dignity and power. Following the deaths of Giorgione, Giovanni Bellini and Vittore Carpaccio, a new moment of artistic culture took place which inaugurated with the Pala dei Frari and The Assumption by Titian. Following the sack of Rome by barbarian invaders, Jacopo Sansovino arrived on the Venetian scene and was responsible for much of the ensuing architectural and urban renewal of Venice in the new Renaissance style. Architects and sculptors such as Andrea Palladio, Scamozzi and Sammicheli became major contributors to this second Renaissance revival. In painting, following the likes of Pordenone, Francesco Salviati and Giuseppe Porta, the career of the great Tintoretto was launched largely with his creation of The Miracle of the Slave. His services were in great demand and culminated in his working in the Doge’s Palace where he met Paolo Veronese.
Veronese was also involved in the extraordinary feats of Palazzo Ducale. Soon, the aristocracy, schools, religious orders and the clergy all began competing for the best
master artisans. This course offers the opportunity to investigate - through the events
of the commissioning of Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese - the artistic dynamics of the
second Venetian Renaissance. The preparatory lesson in the classroom will be followed by visits and ongoing lessons to sites, museums.
