VENICE - Scuola Grande di San Marco

The Scuola Grande di San Marco is a Renaissance building founded by the school of the same name, which overlooks Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice. It constitutes the current main entrance of the SS. Giovanni and Paolo. The school was the seat of a confraternity of the beaten and was established in 1260 and in 1437 it had become so influential and wealthy that it took the name of the patron saint of the city and raised the most imposing of the Venetian schools. However, the construction and the works that embellished it ended in ashes on March 31, 1485; someone had left the candles lit on the altar of the Chapter Hall which burned the whole School to the ground all night long.
The reconstruction began immediately with a grandeur never seen before. The works, initially directed by Pietro Lombardo and Giovanni Buora, were entrusted in 1490 to Mauro Codussi, who completed the façade and built the internal staircase. In 1807, under the Napoleonic rule, the building was the first seat of an Austrian military hospital and was later transformed into a civil hospital, substantially altering the interior. The façade, a delicate composition of aedicules, Corinthian pilasters and statues in white and polychrome marble, is a Renaissance jewel. The marble decoration and the high-reliefs in the lower part (two Marcian lions and stories of San Marco) are attributed to the Lombardo workshop. In 1495, Pietro and Biagio di Faenza were entrusted with the task of carrying out the amazing carved and gilded ceiling in the Sala Capitolare and in the Sala dell'Albergo, which we can still admire today as one of the Venetian wonders. The Sala dell'Albergo became one of the most spectacular complexes of the Venetian Renaissance, an attraction for European scholars and experts, thanks to the works of Gentile Bellini, Giovanni Bellini, Giovanni Mansueti, Paris Bordon, Jacopo Palma il Vecchio. Some canvases with stories of San Marco by Jacopo Palma il Vecchio, with the large canvas Burrasca in mare, Jacopo Palma the Younger, Domenico Tintoretto, Nicolas Régnier, Vittore Belliniano and del Padovanino have been brought back to their original location. Other paintings with a similar subject by Jacopo Tintoretto (including the Miracle of San Marco), Paris Bordone, Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, Giovanni Mansueti, are exhibited in the Gallerie dell'Accademia or the Pinacoteca di Brera. In their place were placed digital copies completely faithful in size, definition and positioning, in order to rediscover the emotion of the Marcian experience, which takes us to the heart of the cultural identity of Venice.

I am very glad to see beautiful very large paintings which I wanted to see. Somehow I could not get in the museum when I went. Ceilings are also very nice. I enjoyed this video very much.

[@MassimoNalli]

Thanks a lot :)

[@sydneyr.cauveren7857]

The fabulous videos just keep on coming. Perhaps in your background music (besides beautiful natural sounds like that of birds & fountains etc) you might choose Italian greats like Monteverdi, Vivaldi etc etc. Much more complimentary to your exceptional work. Thanks Massimo!

[@MassimoNalli]

Hi Sydney thanks a lot. Unfortunately classical music is almost all copyrighted. Music is not theirs but they want to get money for what they have not composed and should be free.

[@paulnovosel9469]

I love your videography, but your electronic music background is terrible. Here you are in Venice, where Vivaldi, the greatest musician ever, lived, taught, and composed, and you don’t use his free public domain music?? When I watch your videos, I turn off the sound.

[@MassimoNalli]

Thanks for your comment. Finding free classic music is not that easy. Almost all of them is copyrighted. I do the same on some videos, if i don t like it I turn it off
