After the catastrophic flood in 1966 René Maheu, the UNESCO General Director at that time, asked for an international help upon request of the Italian Government.
Over fifty private committees were created  in different countries in response to this call. Their aim was to plan projects to promptly contribute to restoration works.

International private committees are still collaborating with the National Archaeological Museum of Venice.

Here are the most recent projects of preservation and restoration achieved by Patrizia Toson with the support of Save Venice Inc.
