PizzaExpress and the Veneziana Trust

25p is donated the Fund each time you go to a Pizza Express restaurant and order a Pizza Veneziana. This fantastic initiative has raised over £1 million for the Fund . Please keep eating Pizza Veneziana at your favourite Pizza Express.

Peter Boizot, who founded the Pizza Express chain in 1965, personally established the initiative and invented Pizza Veneziana based on a medieval Venetian recipe. Besides the usual ingredients of dough, mozzarella and tomatoes it also contains onions, sultanas, olives, capers and pine kernels.

The Chairman and Trustees are most grateful to Pizza Express and the Veneziana Fund for maintaining their generous support of the Fund’s conservation work.

The Getty Foundation

A generous grant from The Getty Foundation enabled the Fund to publish 'The Science of Saving Venice' by Dr Caroline Fletcher and Jane Da Mosto.

Venice Simplon - Orient-Express and Hotel Cipriani

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is a proud supporter of Venice in Peril and the work the charity does to help preserve the beautiful city of Venice. This legendary train travels to and from Venice from March to November each year bringing people from all nationalities and walks of life to see this fascinating city and enjoy its delights.

As far back as the early 20th century when Society was first discovering the richness of Venice, the Orient-Express was deemed the only way to arrive. Today the distinctive blue and gold Wagons-Lits carriages still trace their way across Europe from London and Paris to re-create this golden age of travel.

This strong connection encouraged VSOE to look at how it could build its relationship with Venice In Peril and offer long term support to the charity. The result being that during the 2005 season for every passenger booking a Venetian Overture itinerary to Venice, Orient-Express donated £25 to the Venice in Peril fund.

The total raised for the 2007 season was £13,920.

The money raised will be going towards the restoration of the Armstrong Mitchell Crane in the Arsenale. This is a unique project to protect an extremely important piece of industrial archaeology. In Autumn 2007, a mobile hoist was used to survey the structure from which a feasibility project will be drawn up. Meanwhile the iron ballast container is being lightened to avoid its rusted plates splitting.

The Martin Randall Tours Venice Music Festivals


This meticulous programme of concerts and recitals take place in different venues in Venice over several days.

The music festival in 2000 brought concerts in eight different settings and raised a magnificent £25,887 for the Fund.

The Venice in Peril Fund is enormously grateful to Martin Randall Travel and to all their Festival clients for their generous support.

Martin Randall Travel had another very successful festival in November 2003, which raised over £17,000 for Venice in Peril.
