Most of the architects who worked in Venice were not natives of the city, nor even of the mainland territories of the Republic of Venice, but the large amount of money available in the city tempted architects from northern and central Italy. The city was very rich and prone to fires, so there were always a large number of buildings under construction.
The Venetian nobility believed in the importance of architecture to strengthen the power of the Republic. At the same time, open competition between patrician families was avoided in favor of harmonious equality, which was put into practice both in the construction of buildings and in other areas of the Republic.
