Discuss the nature of the scuole, their place in Venetian society, and the role they played as patrons.
What will be an ideal response?
The scuole (schools) were religious confraternities that engaged in charity, sponsored social functions, and marched in elaborate processions associated with civic and religious festivals. All political groups came together in the scuole; rich and poor, patrician, and commoner worked together for the common good, and nobles were specifically prohibited from holding office to underscore the sense of equality and brotherhood that these organizations fostered. The scuole commissioned art works to decorate their headquarters and competed with each other in their decorative schemes.
