Education (Maddie McGivern)

● Our education here in Venice during the Italian Renaissance is


programmed to create students who are well-balanced and embody the
values of their society.
● It is believed that you learn your native tongue at home, through your
nurse, household conversation, or interaction with your friends.
● Learning is not exclusively from books, and emphasis is placed on the
advantages of preparing for social life by study and discussion.
● The Platonic Academy is a centre of learning and diffusion of Christian
Platonism, a philosophy that conceives of all forms as the creative
thoughts of God and inspires considerable artistic innovation and
creativity.
● Education is based on humanistic ideals → highlights importance of
literary studies with a development of body and spirit
● (The system of the Italian Renaissance education was so successful
that it survived well into the 20th century.)
Trades/Guilds/Industry Hannah Schmidt
● Guilds during this time period were associations or groups of craftsmen
● Most Venice guilds supported specific trades, crafts and arts, provided
training to neophytes, and so on
○ Many also had a philanthropic side, related to the Church or public welfare
● Ropemakers, Sawyers, Stonemasons, Carpenters/Builders were all included
● They traded with Egypt, Syria, Southeast Asia, Iran, and China
○ Trading spice, grain, wine, salt, etc
Cultural Festivities/Sights; Shane
There are 11 famous festivals in Venice which include:

1.) Venice Carnival (Carnevale) Which is a celebration of the mardi gras, filled with kids playing, parades, fairs,
but the most way to enjoy this event is to go to a Masquerade ball
2.) Su e Zo per I Ponti: 2018 marked the 40th edition of the beloved community event, which literally translates to “Up and Down the Bridges.” On a Sunday in spring,
locals and visitors, young and old, join together to march around Venice, weaving through historic sights and into less travelled areas. Choose between routes, including the
long option beginning in St. Mark’s Square and travelling for 15.5 kilometers, up and over 42 bridges or a shorter route beginning at Santa Lucia Railway Station and
venturing 6 kilometers over 20 bridges. Along the way, expect to find folk musicians and entertainers in neighbourhood squares (campi), ample refreshment and a spirit of
community and camaraderie.
3.) Venice Biennale: Founded in 1895, exhibits presenting world-famous paintings dedicated to art, dance, and theatre.

4.) Festa Della Sensa: Venetians celebrate the city’s inextricable bond and coexistence with water every year by staging a historically-infused, symbolic
wedding ceremony between the city and the sea, filled with parades
5.) Vogalonga: bringing together nearly 7,000 rowers in over 1,700 non-motorised boats of every size and shape. Boats set off from the Doge’s Palace to
row a 30-kilometer circuit through the lagoon with cheering crowds lining canals and bridges nearly every paddle along the way. From the ceremonial
lifting of the oars to the very last stroke
Cont.
6.) Art night venezia: On a summer evening in June it encourages galleries, museums, and shops to show local talent

9.) Venice international film festival: For 11 days in late summer, a red carpet is unfurled in characteristically
Venetian fashion, exuding glamour in a relaxed and casual manner. While mainstream movies are usually the focus, international and art
films, documentaries and virtual reality works are also featured

10.) Regata Storica: Events include a women’s regatta in mascarete boats and young rower’s race in agile boats known as
pupparini, leading to the highly-anticipated championship regatta in two-man gondolini, originally designed and built specifically for
this race

11.) Venice Marathon: Every October, one of the running world’s most famous and scenic events welcomes 8,000 runners to experience the city from a wholly
unique perspective. Participants set off from historic Villa Pisani, 25 km west of Venice to tackle a flat and fast course along the beautiful riverside area known as
“Riviera del Brenta,” passing 18th century Venetian villas before winding through San Giuliano Park in Mestre and, finally, setting foot in historic Venice.
Geography - Brian Davis
● Venice sits on a alluvial slit which is washed into the sea by the rivers flowing
eastward from the Alps across the Veneto plain
● The gradual lowering of the surface has contributed to the seasonal high
water when much of the city’s surface is occasionally covered at high tide
● Venice has a four season climate that has cool winters and hot, humid
summers
● Precipitation is spread evenly throughout the year
● During severe winters, the canals can freeze
Population growth D’Lacy Bass
● In the early 1300’s our population reached an approximate 110,000
Venetians. This was due to our uncontrollable epidemics the caused majority
of our population to rise and decline rapidly.
Why travelers visited? D’Lacy Bass
● Travelers often visited our city for our famous well crafted merchant ships. We
were often known as the experts of ship building. Most travelers came in
interest of getting a ship built for their crusade or our famous trade reputation
with nearby cities.
