Located in the historical Squero Casal dei Servi, the Arzana association works to preserve the nautical traditions of Venice through the collection and restoration of traditional Venetian boats and boat-related items.
the Collection
The only one of its kind, the Arzana collection contains not only the most extensive collection of traditional boats with more than 30 examples, but also an impressive collection of boat-related items, tools for hunting and fishing in the lagoon, and tools used in the crafting of the boats at the boatyard, or Squero. The collection is currently housed in the ancient Squero Casal dei'Servi.
