In response to the appeal launched by the UNESCO Director General in 1966, private organizations were established in a number of countries to collect and channel contributions to restore and preserve Venice.
Endangered Art of Venice
"Over the years, the International Private Committees have worked closely with the Superintendencies of Monuments and Galleries of Venice, through UNESCO, to identify and address priority needs. Since 1969, they have funded the restoration of more than 100 monuments and 1,000 works of art, provided laboratory equipment and scientific expertise, sponsored research and publications and awarded innumerable grants for craftsmen, restorers and conservators to attend specialist courses in Venice."
