The America-Italy Society is proud to be one of the early members of the Private Committees for the Safeguarding of Venice, composed of more than 30 committees throughout the world raising funds to support the most urgent restorations.
The Association has been awarded the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards 2018 for the long standing commitment of its Members to the safeguarding of Venice. The America-Italy Society began its support for art restoration in Venice following the great flood of 1966 that devastated Venice and damaged many of the world’s great art and architectural masterpieces. The international community banded together under the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to launch a campaign to assist the Italian government in the safeguarding of Venice. The work is concerned not only with the physical restoration of Venetian edifices and works of art, but with the physiology of rising sea levels, settling grounds, water currents, contamination, and general quality of life issues.
