In 2015 Venezia Arte organised an important event dedicated to the Scuole Grandi and confraternities in Venice, institutions which hold an extremely important place in the city’s heritage, in that they are “living heritage”: Scuole Grandi, Scuole Piccole and Confraternities: art, society and devotion during the Venetian Republic – Itineraries between Past and Present.
