| San Servolo Island is located in the Venetian lagoon,
between the historic center of Venice and the Lido
Island (10 minutes by boat from St. Mark’s Square, the
heart of Venice). The island was originally the home
of the Venetian Calbana family who, from the year 810
onwards, hosted the seat of a Benedictine Monastery. San
Servolo remained a monastery until the mid-eighteenth
century, when it was transformed into a Hospital.
Following the hospital’s closure in 1978, restoration
work of the monumental complex began a few years later
and is now completed.
In the spring of 1997, Venice International
University was founded and was given access to the newly
renovated facilities on the island to hold undergraduate
and postgraduate programs, conferences, seminars, and
research activity.
