Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Misericordia, Renaissance charity building in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy
The Scuola Grande della Misericordia spans two floors with brick facades and stands at the intersection of Rio della Sensa and Rio di Noale.
Founded in 1261, the Confraternity of Santa Maria della Misericordia received permission to build their headquarters next to the church in 1310.
The building functions as a center for art exhibitions, including a 2024 showcase of works by artist Zeng Fanzhi from April through September.
Located at Sestiere Cannaregio 3599, the venue opens Wednesday through Monday from 10:00 to 18:00 and accommodates over 1000 visitors.
In 1451, a Madonna bas-relief by Bartolomeo Bon adorned the portal facade before its transfer to a London museum.
