In 1966, the most destructive flood in the history of Venice
temporarily submerged the city and threatened its extraordinary art
and architecture. Among the organizations that mobilized to protect
this fragile heritage was Save Venice Inc. Founded in Boston and
now headquartered in New York City, this nonprofit has become the
largest and most active committee dedicated to preserving the
artistic legacy of Venice.Christopher Carlsmith tells the
fascinating story of Save Venice Inc., from its origins to its
fiftieth anniversary. It continues to provide an influential model
for philanthropy in the cultural sector, raising substantial funds
to conserve and restore paintings, sculptures, books, mosaics, and
entire buildings at risk from human and environmental impacts.
Employing extensive archival research, oral interviews, and
newspaper accounts, Save Venice Inc. explores a range of topics,
including leadership, conservation projects, fundraising, and
educational outreach. Using a range of methodologies from cultural
history and art history, Carlsmith traces the achievements and
challenges faced by this and other historic preservation
organizations and by this unique city on the sea.
