\n <\/span>Egypt and the Near East<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Venice extended toward the East and the Holy Land, where its ships convoyed pilgrims on the route to Jerusalem via Alexandria. A memory of the knowledge of those lands, which originated also from the experience of the travelers who visited it, remains even in Saint Mark\u2019s Basilica\u2019s mosaics. The lagoon city has a many-centuried relation with Egypt, due to the \u00a0Venetian commercial interests in that country. This relation contributed to feed curiosity for pharaonic antiquities, which started to be collected by Venetian diplomats stationed in the East, for example in Constantinople.
\nThere began an antique collecting including Egyptian pieces, whose growth is linked to leading figures in the 18th century but was an animated phenomenon also in the following century, as Teodoro Correr\u2019s collection still proves.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
