The Friends of Venice Club promotes friendship and provides a support network for members of the international community living in and visiting Venice and the Veneto.

Its main purpose is to make Venice a friendlier and more accessible place for international residents and visitors so they can integrate into Venetian society and take full advantage of all that it has to offer.

Friends of Venice offers a wide variety of cultural, social and artistic events to help members learn as much as possible about the Venetian way of life, including its rich culture and traditions, history, art, food, sporting activities and other local customs.
