Description:

Learn more about the traditions and culture of Venice with the help of expert docents of art, history, and architecture. Choose from multiple tour options, from the daily life of people during the Italian Renaissance to the role of Venetian art in the public life of the city, and prepare to go deeper in your understanding.

As you walk through the city, admire the charming buildings, symbols of Venetian wealth and power from the Renaissance. Architectural decoration and elegant design of the Ca’ D’Oro palace are just some of the elements that can be used to understand the daily life of Venetians during the Renaissance.

Imagine life during that influential period—what people did in their leisure time, and the gender, sex, and class issues prevalent during that era.

Marvel at more than 50 canvases painted by Tintoretto at the Scuola of San Rocco and see The Assumption of Mary, the outstanding altarpiece by Titian at the Frari Church. Understand the role played by the Venetian Scuole in the old Republic. Each devotional painting reminded the population about the importance of prayers and honest life.
