LUCCHETTA, FRANCESCA
L'ultimo progetto di una scuola orientalistica a Venezia nel Settecento, pp. 1-43

In the second half of the eighteenth century the school for giovani di lingua, that is the school for State interpreters, was still active at the bailo's residence in Constantinople. But it was not well organized. So the old project of a propaedeutic course in Venice was taken up again, following the example of France and Austria. On 30th Dec. 1786 the Senate decreed the establishment of an experimental school for Oriental Lenguages in Venice, under the direction of the dragoman Giovanni Battista Calvar• Imberti, as a starting eight years theoretical course. The former bailo Memmo drew up a plan, which conceived the structure of the school like that of a college, where the pupils had to attend classes in general culture subjects besides special lesson of Arabic, Persian and Turkish. A second course, aimed at pratical knowledge, would be held at the bailo's palace in Pera. However the school never began its courses regularly and a new discussion was opened whithin the Senate: then it was considered more profitable to continue, according to tradition, to prepare the dragomans in a single school at Pera, in Constantinople.
