As a result, the visual culture of this waterborne Republic was influenced by the arts and civilizations of the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Through our study of this singular environment, this two-quarter sequence will address the experience of living in a multicultural state whose livelihood was based on global trade. We will investigate the ways in which the visual arts embraced and showcased Venice's diversity and apply our historical study to the global, multicultural society in which we live today.

Title A name given to the resource Basilica of San Marco, Venice Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Republic of Venice Subject The topic of the resource Italy--Venice Architecture--Italy--Venice Italy--Venice--St. Mark Venice--Piazza San Marco Description An account of the resource The Basilica of San Marco served as the spiritual heart of the Republic of Venice. Technically the private chapel of the leader of Venice -- the Doge -- this church houses the remains of the city's patron saint, Mark. Contrary to popular belief, San Marco is not a cathedral. The cathedral of Venice, San Pietro di Castello - is located far outside the city center. This peripheral location was intended to marginalize the importance of the papacy within the city's urban fabric.
