The Carmini School was established in 1594, precisely on 1 March. It was "baptized" Confraternita sive scola di laity under the name of the Glorious Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel by Bernardin Soardi, fabric manufacturer or trader (tellarol in Venetian) and a native of Bergamo. During the papacy of Clement VIII and the doge of Pasquale Cicogna, Soardi was officially appointed prior of the newly born Confraternity.
At the beginning, the Confraterna was housed in the church and convent belonging to the Carmelites "of ancient observance", in Campo dei Carmini in the Dorsoduro district.
