On 4 and 5 November 2019 the final conference of the project entitled GAWS: Garzoni. Apprenticeship, Work, Society in Early Modern Venice will be held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini and the Archivio di Stato di Venezia.

The conference has attracted numerous historians and art historians from Italy, France, Belgium, Britain and Spain, who will discuss the results of a project that has made it possible to build a database of about 55,000 apprenticeship contracts for various Venetian trades, from the late 16th to the late 18th century.
