"Come tutte le sedi delle Scuole Grandi è articolata su due piani con una vasta sala capitolare al primo."

OK, if this were a monastery or church (it isn't), I would probably translate as "chapter house". The glossary has "capitular room", which I'm not sure I believe in this context, and my current best theory is for "upper hall" (the English Wikipedia uses this too, and it appears consistent with the author's definition, which is: "La Sala Capitolare delle Scuole Veneziane aveva un uso misto, sia religioso, officiare funzioni, sia prettamente sociale per riunirsi e discutere").

TIA :)

Yes, OK, in my rush I didn't see your note (blush, blush). I'd still go for chapter house, though. The Scuole Veneziane were pretty much religious societies if I remember well

Also known as "Sala del Capitolo" and it has ancient origins, see

Gli organi della Scuola
Dal 1261 la Repubblica istituì due magistrature che fra le varie mansioni di controllo delle merci avevano anche il compito di approvare le Mariegole (Madre Regola), ossia gli atti istitutivi della Scuole stesse.
Le Scuole erano presiedute da un Guardian Grande.
Il Capitolo era l'organo che riuniva tutti i confratelli.
La Banca e Zonta era l'organismo con incarichi direttivi, tipicamente composto da una quindicina di persone
