Save Venice Commits More Than $1 Million to New Restorations and Educational Initiatives in Venice
Save Venice is proud to announce its funding commitments for more than $1 million in new restoration projects and initiatives in Venice. These new restorations are located throughout the city in churches and museums including Palazzo Ducale, Ca' Rezzonico, Palazzo Cini Gallery, the Archivio di Stato, Ateneo Veneto, Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Santa Maria della Salute, San Zaccaria, and San Sebastiano. Save Venice has also pledged support for exhibitions in the Gallerie dell'Accademia and at the Scuola Grande di San Marco.

Save Venice's work to conserve and protect these irreplaceable artistic treasures would not be possible without the ongoing generosity of our donors. Get involved or support our mission by joining or renewing as a Member or attending one of our many events in New York, Boston, Venice, and beyond.
