Owner description:
A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the building and its sculptural decoration date from various periods. The interior, with works by artists such as Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, A.Vittoria and Tiepolo, includes vast council chambers, superbly decorated residential apartments, and austere prison cells. Along the facades of the Palace run loggias that overlook St. Mark’s Square and the lagoon. The combined entrance ticket to the St. Mark’s Square Museums grants access to the Doge’s Palace, Museo Correr, Museo Archeologico Nazionale and Monumental Rooms of Biblioteca Marciana.

Owner description:
It is said that Napoleon called San Marco "the drawing room of Europe." And it is a breathtakingly beautiful place. But the square has long been a lure for massive numbers of pigeons, drawn by the massive numbers of tourists who readily feed them. While the tourists happily post for photos amid the flock, there are concerns that the birds' presence--and what they leave behind--will damage the centuries old architecture and art work.

Owner description:
"Scuola" (School) is the term used in the ancient Republic of Venice to indicate the confraternity.The Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista di Venezia was established in March 1261. Its building complex is the result of centuries of successive architectural and decorative interventions and starting from a first mid fourteenth century building it gradually enlarged as the economic and religious importance of the School increased.In its glorious building the Scuola Grande has hosted and continues to host important meetings of a high social and cultural value, at national and international level.With its activities it has increased its prestige and at the same time it has managed to collect funds to restore and preserve its historical buildings, providing a beneficial service to the city of Venice.
