Info & Booking
The Scuola Grande or Confraternita of San Giovanni Evangelista is one of the most ancient brotherhoods in Venice, founded in 1261 as part of the flagellation movement, at that time particularly lively in the Italian peninsula. When moving to the district of Santa Croce in Venice, the brotherhood’s goals were to provide social assistance to its members and to manage bequests and donations as a financial institution would do. The investments in art and architecture moved parallel to a strong sense ofreligious devotion that always accompanied the decisions of the brethren. Inside you will visit the Chapter hall, the room of the Holy Cross and view the art works by Domenico Tintoretto and other artists. Moreover, you will be able to visit the workshop for the restoration of the staircase designed by Mauro Codussi, one of the most extraordinary architecture works inspired by the Renaissance discovery of the perspective.
