The Cassa di Risparmio di Venezia collection, now known as the Collezione Intesa Sanpaolo, contains three nuclei. As well as the collection of artworks displayed to the public, the collection also contains the ‘Venetian Library’, which consists of bibliographical material concerning the history, economics and art of the city of Venice. The works were collected to document the great Venetian publishing tradition, with rare editions printed in Venice between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries. The third nucleus is the coin collection, which includes an important collection of coins from the Venetian mint: it documents the history of the Serenissima Republic from the second half of the thirteenth century until 1866.
