The earliest of these mariegole belongs to the traghetto of Santa Sofia, near the Rialto, and dates from the year 1344: the traghetto itself, however, was probably much older.
A corporation of this nature was called a scuola at Venice: and from the very first these schools of the gondoliers were of a religious character, dedicated to a patron saint, and in close connection with the church of the parish where the ferry was situated.
