Bottega Veneta will help restore St. Mark's Basilica “As a company, we are deeply involved in the preservation of the heritage of the Veneto region”.

The floods that have hit Venice in the last month have seriously endangered the priceless artistic and architectural heritage of the city. Following the disaster, Bottega Veneta, together with the no-profit Venetian Heritage, launched an initiative to contribute to the restoration of St. Mark's Basilica. In particular, the project promoted by the maison of Vicenza will take care of the recovery of the mosaic floors and the polychrome marbles that decorate the walls of the cathedral. For this purpose, 30% of the proceeds from the sales of all Bv Classic, Marie, Bv Angle and Arco bags will be allocated between November 29th and December 29th.

The fashion house's Creative Director, Daniel Lee commented:

 “We are proud to contribute to the restoration of St. Mark’s Basilica, one of the most important and inspirational landmarks of the city of Venice. As a company, we are deeply involved in the preservation of the heritage of the Veneto region”.
