Save Venice

What is "Save Venice"?
"Save Venice" is a way for You and Us to give back to the world and help preserve the beautiful city of Venice for generations to come.
We do not only sell beautiful Venetian products but also strive to make a difference in the world by teaming up with our customers to help Venice to survive and sustain its rich cultural heritage for generations to come. To achieve this, we offer a unique program, called "Save Venice". Just place your order with us and select the appropriate amount from Save Venice section. The amount that you add will become a part of our donation program. Once the funds contributed by all our clients total up to $100, we will add another $100 and donate the $200 to www.SaveVenice.org

What is SaveVenice.org?
SaveVenice is a non-profit American charitable organization working on projects to save and protect Venice and its unique and fragile heritage. It is one of the most important of the 30 international committees that were formed under the umbrella of UNESCO to restore and protect Venice's threatened masterpieces. The organization has completed over 200 restorations in Venice in its 34 year history.

Each year, the Superintendents for the Artistic and Historic Heritage of Venice and for the Architectural Heritage of Venice, along with church leaders, interested citizens and friends of Save Venice suggest works of art and buildings in need of restoration. The board of Save Venice then chooses which projects to sponsor according to artistic merit and urgency of need. If you’d like to know more about SaveVenice please visit its website at www.SaveVenice.org

You and everyone else who contributed to the pool will receive a detailed report once each donation is made.

Please help us sustain the unique cultural heritage of Venice!
