Itinerary

Day 1

The Scuole in Venice were the seats of lay congregations that organized most of the non-working activities of bourgeois. Their success, prestige and wealth were to be shown, not only through the charitable deeds for which they were firstly responsible, but also by financing lavishly expensive decoration programmes in the buildings that hosted such institutions.
This is why the name of Saint Rocco brotherhood still resounds in Venice nowadays; reputed to be the greatest achievement of Tintoretto in the city, his masterpiece paintings will tell you about both his art and life. Conveniently located at a few steps away, the church of Santa Maria Gloriosa epitomises the close relationship between the Franciscan order and affluent patronage in Venice . Local citizens and some foreign communities were the main patrons and promoters for the construction and decoration of what the Venetians called the Big House. Here we are then to admire, among many other works, Titian's 'Assumption' and ' Pesaro ' altarpieces and Bellini's 'Madonna and Saints'.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
