SCUOLA GRANDE DEI CARMINI

 

 

The official foundation of this "Scuola Grande" was in the 1594, at the beginning of 1670 the building was finished by architect Longhena.
 

This School keeps on the ceiling of the first floor room a masterpice by Tiepolo: La Vergine in Gloria. The painting la Madonna del Carmelo consegna lo scapolare al Beato Simone Stock raised the popularity of this confraternity until the final appreciation by Serenissima Government that gave the appellative "Grande" to it in the 1767.
