Scuola Vecchia della Misericordia, Religious confraternity building in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy
The Scuola Vecchia della Misericordia stands at the intersection of Rio della Sensa with Rio di Noale and Rio di San Falice in northern Venice.
Constructed in 1310 as a charity institution, the building expanded throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, including the addition of a cemetery and gardens.
Bartolomeo Bon decorated the facade in 1441, with two small angels holding a scroll over the architrave and foliage capitals remaining visible today.
The structure now serves as a conservation and scientific research facility under the management of the Cultural Heritage Superintendence of Venice.
In 1920, art collector Italico Brass transformed the building into his personal atelier, adding geometrically arranged flowerbeds bordered by hedges in the garden.
