The Venetian Club works towards bringing visitors to Venice who will support and contribute to the fabric of the city and take away with them an appreciation and knowledge of a living craft tradition The Venetian Club has been established, in part, as a response to a double challenge; declining local population and the pressure place on the survival of traditional Venetian Crafts We aim to be a part of a growing trend towards "Conservation Tourism" by supporting traditional Venetian Activities whose roots are set in the cultural and historical fabric of the city A benefit achieved by introducing our members to artisans that are living and working in this Historic Crafts community
