From 1261 the Great Schools, similar in many respects to medieval guilds in Britain, were established as secular brotherhoods that largely attracted middle-class citizens. Each was dedicated to a patron saint, and their purpose was primarily mutual aid between members and conducting charitable works. On the annual feast of their patron they made a procession in honor of him, and on the feast of San Marco they went to the basilica, guided by their banners. The schools were identified as Large ...

Beautiful book on classical ornament by Camillo Boito (1836-1914) (from Wikipedia)Boito was born in Rome, the son of an Italian painter of miniatures. He studied in Padua and then architecture at the Accademia (School of Fine Arts) in Venice. During his time there, he was influenced by Selvatico Estense, an architect who championed the study of medieval art in Italy. He taught architecture at the Venice School of Fine Arts until 1856 when he moved to Tuscany. During his extensive work restoring ancient buildings, he tried to reconcile the conflicting views of his contemporaries on architectural restoration, notably those of Eugene Viollet-le-Duc and John Ruskin. This reconciliation of ideas was presented at the III Conference of Architects and Civil Engineers of Rome in 1883 in a document later to be known as the "Primera Carta del Restauro" or the Charter of Restoration. This inaugural charter develops eight points to be taken into consideration in the restoration of historical monuments: 1. The differentiation of style between new and old parts of a building. 2. The differentiation in building materials between the new and the old. 3. Suppression of moldings and decorative elements in new fabric placed in a historical building. 4. Exhibition in a nearby place of any material parts of a historical building that were removed during the process of restoration. 5. Inscription of the date (or a conventional symbol)on new fabric in a historical building. 6. Descriptive epigraph of the restoration work done attached to the monument. 7. Registration and description with photographs of the different phases of restoration. This register should remain in the monument or in a nearby public place. This requirement may be substituted by publication of this material. 8. Visual notoriety of the restoration work done. The concern was for maintaining authenticity in terms of the identification of original materials. At the same time, the intention was to promote a "scientific" attitude toward restoration. Boito's principles were well accepted and inspired modern legislation on restoration of historical monuments in several countries. Boito is perhaps most famous for his restoration of the Church and Campanile of Santi Maria e Donato at Murano, inspired by the theories and techniques of Viollet-Le-Duc. He also worked on the Porta Ticinese in Milan between 1856–1858 and famed Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua in 1899. Other architectural designs include Gallarate Hospital (in Gallarate, Italy) and a school in Milan. His most famous building in Milan is the Casa di Riposo per Musicisti which was built 1895 - 99. It was financed by the composer Giuseppe Verdi and serves as a rest home for retired musicians, and as a memorial for the composer, who is buried in the crypt of the chapel there. In the early 1900s, Boito helped shape Italian laws protecting historical monuments. Boito died in Milan in 1914. I apologize for not color correcting this set, but I just ran out of time.
