Explain the nature of the scuola, its place in Venetian society, and the role they played as patrons
What will be an ideal response?
The scuola (schools) were religious confraternities that engaged in charity, sponsored social functions, and marched in sometimes 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 in order to underscore the sense of equality and brotherhood that these organizations fostered. The individual scuola commissioned art works to decorate their headquarters and competed with each other in their decorative schemes.
